I think maybe the little sense of relief stems from the fact that in this case, I get to make a decision. Up to now there has only been a feeling of complete loss of control. My wife has been making these decisions and I have been along for the ride, scrambling to keep up. Gives me a small reduction in the sense of having no control.
