It's interesting that you mentioned this. I was just reading this on a blog the other day and think it's true:
I had a friend once tell me that she knew her marriages were over the moment the word “divorce” was said out loud. Whether they said together two weeks or two years later, she can still trace it back to the moment when the word was chosen and spoken. And I think she’s right.
I remember so clearly when we went to visit H's family and we were talking w/ his bro and he said, "If Sol and I ever divorce..." and I will never forget that day. I mentioned this to him about a month ago and I said, "Remember taht ime when we went to visit your family and you said, If--
And he stopped me and said "I know what you're going to say but that's not what I meant at the time." He didn't even let me finish my statement. But he knew what I was talking about. Interesting.
Last night I went to my bible study and we finished early. On Wednesday's I've arranged for my wife to pick up D13 from her gynastics class, that way I don't have to rush out before we're finished. Last night we finished early and my first thought was "I can go pick D up and save wife the trip", I mentioned this thought to my friend who said "sure, go ahead and call your ex and tell her you'll pick D up" and then I said "You know what, I'm not going to. One of the things I used to do was run around doing all the picking up and dropping off etc to make her life easier. But, sometimes when you do too much you're not really helping, so I'm going to let her take care of it" and I did. When we were together I took care of pretty much everything because she had a demanding job and degree course she was taking at night and I wanted to help keep her stress down. I thought it showed love. She, on the other hand, felt guilty and not a part of the family because I took care of everything. So, part of my healing, is learning not to do too much for others. Was it really love or my need to be in control? Still wondering!
Well during our little hiatus I had a little medical issue and am now lined up for a Colonoscopy and a Gastroscopy, isn't life grand! I had trouble coming up with anyone who I could ask to go with me, as you have to be accompanied to and from the clinic or they won't do the procedures, so wife said she'd take the morning off and take me. So, October 19 I'll be going to a clinic for the big show! I found something that looked like blood in a stool, probably a jam center from one of the cookies I ate the night before, but knowing my father had colon cancer a few years ago and having never had a Colonoscopy I elected to go to my doctor and he threw in a Gastroscopy too, what a giving guy! This time I plan to get medicated. Twenty years ago I had a Gastroscopy and am apparently the only human being on the planet who has had one without being medicated. It was not fun! I told my supervisor I needed time off for these tests and her response was "can't this wait a month or so, we're really busy!" Ah, the empathy overwhelms me. Anyway, that's my update. Missed you guys
You know if I lived closer I would be taking you. I was going to it has been strange with my ex calling to check on me and being nice. Maybe because he is getting married this weekend ...
So it is a good thing that your wife is taking you as it doesn't seem like she has anything up her sleeve. Only got to me today when I was talking to one of the nurses and it turns out she has four kids too. She is asking if I have someone significant in my life (not yet), but I said that my parents have stayed as a stable presence in my kids lives.
Hope it all goes well for you. Big hugs.

Thanks Kat. The fact that wife volunteered kind of touched me. I hadn't planned on asking her but she had a procedure done two weeks or so ago and I was asking her about the clinic. I mentioned that I didn't have anyone to take me yet but I would ask some church friends and if they couldn't I knew my Pastor would (he's a big Colonoscopy booster since he had Colon cancer a few years ago. He actually came to my workplace on his day off once to do a talk on Cancer and the need for getting a Colonoscopy with our program clients.)Wife said "you don't have to do that, I'll take you" She had three days open she could go so that's why I booked October 19. Anyway, I'm not looking forward to it but better safe than sorry!
Sorry you have to go get the colonoscopy done! I'm sure it's nothing but better to be safe and get it checked out! Nice of your W to offer to take you.
