My Visit with the Marriage Counselor
I say MY visit because I went alone. It was nice. We had a good chat and we checked off some of our goals that we set in the beginning. We discussed where we were to go from here and I entered a few thoughts.
Then, we discussed my "mother hen" affect. Yes, I’m sure you have already figured that out, I think I have to "fix" everything for my kids and…well….for my husband.
Today, he was at the dentist while I was at the counselor’s office. When I finished at the counselors office, I had to go to the dentist office and talk with the dentist about the treatment plan. While I was doing this, my husband had his ipod going and his ears plugged. They had to do some below the gum cleaning and I asked if they could give him nitrous oxide for that because he had already told me he was too embarrassed to ask for that during the cleaning but that it really does bother him.
So, they did the cleaning with the laughing gas and he had previously taken a tiny crumb of a xanax. So, we went to lunch and he went back to the dentist for his 2 and half hours worth of work. When it was over, he called me to come pick him up and I was the one who went inside to pay the bill.
All he had to do was be there. Just as if he were Jace or Walker. I can’t help it. He had to have so much work done because he is terrified of the dentist thus he hasn’t gone in a long time. However, we did get out of there under $1K instead of my estimate of $2.5K.
Who budgeted that money? Me. Who knew how to pay for it? Me. I really am a pathetic case but I can’t help myself…..
Mental Note…stop it, stop it, stop mothering this 38 year old man stop it stop it!
