DH and I carpool to and from work. Last night, on our way from work…
Me: We have to stop by Wa.lgre.ens. before we go home
Hubs: Why?
Me:I am out of HPTs. I need to pick some up. (Bad bad idea!!! I should have just said that I need to pick up some cold medicine!)
Hubs: No.
Me: Excuse me?!?
Hubs: You are excused! (with a smirk on his face)
Me: (all irritated… obviously not in the mood for a joke) Huh! Take me to the store
Hubs: No… you are not testing until the blood test
Me: (upset and angry) What?? Why not… I want to know. I want to be prepared for the bad news when I get it on Monday afternoon.
Hubs: If it doesn’t work, you are going to be sad anyway. There is no point in being sad early!
OMG!… We go back and forth for abt 5 mins and neither of us are letting go of our positions. I even tried degrading myself to a whiny cry baby (which usually gets me what I want)… but nope! And then he pulls this one from nowhere…
Hubs: OK… hold it hold it… Do I have a say in this or not?
Me: (very silent… wanted to blurt out a NOOO on the top of my lungs and get my freaking HPT)
Hubs: Huh… Do I or don’t I?
Me: (from under my breath)…Yeah
I was very shocked that he was soo adamant. He never cared so much to interfere with my IF related stuff before. Wow! In a way, I was really really happy that he cared so much. And then I realized… OMG! All along I have been ignoring that he is a part of the journey too. It is not. all. about. me. This conv made me realize that IF must affect him too! I bet he is as scared to find out as I am. He is just not showing it. So I am going to respect his feelings and sit mum. But I did manage to convince him to let me test on beta morning (Monday)! Will keep you guys in the loop!
Thanks a lot for your well wishes! I hope you guys are right!
