I suspect it has to do with his self control and his ability to ignore his body. This trait served him really well in the service.
We were talking the other night about boot camp. He said, Boot camp was no big deal to me. I was honestly SO disappointed in it because I had thought it would be a challenge, based on what everybody has always said about it. I would look at the other guys, crying and carrying on and think, What's the deal? It just wasn't that hard!
And you'd have to know MrHP to understand his tone of voice. He is never a braggart. He wasn't boasting..he was just recounting the experience and was mostly disappointed that it was so easy.
I was staring at him, trying to picture myself in boot camp and thinking it was easy. Couldn't do it. I think I am more "in tune" with my body's pain.
Although he did say, after watching me birth two children naturally, that he could NEVER do that and tolerate that amount of pain. So who knows.
I am the same way with the 2-4 days gone by thing. However, once an opportunity comes up, it's like I was never gone, lol. He is not like that. Once the 2-4 days is past, he misses it so little that it's hard to remind him why it worthy of missing. THEN, finally, when we're doing it he inevitably says something like, Why didn't we do this sooner?! (duh, I think, cause you didn't want to, ya idgit)
Anyway, I am hoping to have a good weekend. I feel like sh*t but I have a good attitude and love my family.
