Lil, Are you a 7 in disguise?? Hee hee...I thought the 7's were the eternal optimists.
I think he is worried and concerned but, at the moment, he has a stomach virus that is causing him to feel queasy all the time. He says he was so wrapped up in his own discomfort that he couldn't take the time to read the pamphlet, as I asked him to. However, we went for a bike ride as a family last night and we both voted in our local elections. So it didn't stop him from participating in LIFE, just the stuff he didn't want to deal with, at the time. I am mildly irritated about it, but truly nothing big. I told him that I was irritated and the reasons why and I intend on letting it drop. He has apologized so what else can he do? I was surprised, given his level of besottedness (you are too funny), at his non-reaction but then again he is a BFB when he is sick. (big fat baby:)
I do think he worries more than he lets on. I am, by nature, a stoic person and do very little complaining. In fact, I have complained more on this bb by FAR than I have in real life re: this infection. So I think he mistakes my stoic persona for nonchalance and he takes his cue from me--as we all know--as far as how HE acts. I did ask him to read the pamphlet, and that was sorta "big" for me to even ask for that. I am trying to ask for things and keep expectations low. I would like to do as Corri suggested to me eons ago and ditch the expectations altogether but I'm clearly not there yet. When I asked him to read it, I fully expected that he would do so, stomachache or not. I expected that he would show a level of interest in the outcome and resolution of this long and ongoing crap sandwich.
Oh well, as I said, he apologized this morning for his lack of interest and promised to read it tonight. I do believe he is sorry for being callous and I know that he will not leave my side until I am safe and sound. That is, if his wittle tummy is not stricken with another buggy wuggy. LOL
