Newmama -

a great update!!!

GOOD LORD! This guy would have to be NUMB to not notice the bonding experience of you two w/your son at the park, really nice dinners, etc...

I need your recipe for the chicken!! None that I have found use a crock pot, and they are life savers w/kids and sports activities!

And I forgot something...so I was in the den and he was in the front room making his dr. appt. He was trying to be quiet and I heard him say "I found a lump in my testicle" So I pretended like I didn't hear him.

When he mentioned he made his appt I said "oh for your cold?" and he said "yes and I made one for a physical." I asked why and he said "well I haven't had one in 7-8 years."

So I felt VERY hurt that he didn't tell me about the lump! He watched me give birth to his son! He was there for me when I had a laparoscopy to remove an ovarian dermoid cyst ! OW probably knows!

But I did an internet search and saw there were tons of different causes for a lump...only 1% being cancer. I guess if it isn't death related then he doesn't need to say anything.

And maybe he wants to rule out STD from the ho-bag!

Newmama - I'm sorry that was hurtful, but I got a laugh out of it... Just the visual, whispering making the appointment, having to say OUT LOUD what the issue is, etc... What man wants to talk about his balls being faulty, seriously? It's interesting that he chose your house to do this in... I'm sure he's just embarrassed. Remember, after we've given birth, it feels like EVERYONE has seen our innards (and outards - is that a word?). Guys get away without that "show". He's probably just terribly embarrassed.

Thanks for the recipe!!! I'll try it!

MF, glad you didn't think it was a big deal that he didn't tell me.

About the recipe- I used chx breasts, dried herbs and pinot noir instead and it was still amazing!

Thanks for sharing your DB session with us newmama. Like you say, a real combination of reassuring and scary.

I think this is so true! When I look back I see that with my H.

But that was good because you don't want a spouse to come back to you out of obligation or guilt; like if he couldn't D me because he thought it would cause me too much pain.So he returns but is not in it 100%; is miserable.
I need to remind myself of this.

About the crickets...I have your thread in "Watched" but for some reason it doesn't appear on my watch list so I don't see when someone has posted to it confused . Feel free to let me know in my thread if you want feedback.

Take care and be strong.

Art of Seduction....checking it out from the library would be better than purchasing it. I need to post a quick summary sometime!
