I agree but my H doesn't like to sit still. Something has to happen. But as my friend said, big part of marriage is having someone to take care of you when you have hip surgery. Don't know that I will wait around another 30 years for him to realize that though, haha.
:p.
My ongoing battle with lice has given me an epiphany. If a guy is willing to pick the nits on my head and on kid's head, I will swear my undying devotion for life. My money will be his money, his enemies will be my enemies. And woe will befall on anyone who dares hurt my nit-picker.
Your H and my X just aren't at the place in their lives where they are willing to take care of us in these ways.
Grl, I didn't want to say this before, but when my D had lice, H and I sat there every night for about an hour a night combing them out. For over a week. And he also once removed a large square of paper towel from my son's nose that was wedged really deep up there. Maybe that is why I am not giving up hope?
