I had a similair experience.. My H and I watched a behind the scenes special @ The Cirque de Soleil... two of the dancers had A's and while we were watching it , it did hurt a little to see that cause it hit home. But I did not say anything.... next day or so I mention I would love to go see that show..... That him and I should go to Chicago and watch it... he like your H was extremely offended.????
Looking back and reading your post makes me wonder are they mad cause it reminds them Of how much they hurt us or are they mad cause if you are accepting of others doing ithis (A) and feel at peace ( if they only knew how much it really hurt) will you then maybe do the same cause we just said it was " OK" in esssence.
I dunno, I never will cause when he gets irratated re this issue I pretend it never happened .. I do not want to talk about it.... we do not talk about it... he can deal with the guilt all by himself he created the A and he can put it to rest himself.... ....if he really pressed me to help him get thru it sure I would, that is who I am ,but if not then you can do this by yourself .I am living my own h*ll trying to forget about it....
Any way sorry to ramble I thought I would just relay what happened to me that was kind of similair.
Sometimes they are beautiful and sometimes they make no sense.
