Dh and I were joking about "free" birth control when menopause was brought up. Then I mentioned the accompanying mood swings, vaginal dryness, and osteoporosis risk. Major boner killer. Heh.
I thought your comment was a funny way of telling stellas to turn the car around and go home.
I ccant imagine what you meant if it wasn't that!
It was, but only if everyone insists on talking about baby clothes. Lol. I'd rather have the "Is it blackface!?!?" debate all day every day. Children's clothing is near the top of my most-hated topics list. Not really sure why.
ETA: It was still meant jokingly. I mean, we are talking about children's clothing here afterall.
I am so glad your scans were good and hope you get some answers re: blood work. Hormonal stuff is the worst.
This is admittedly a totally pot stirring question (so just ignore if you don't want to get into it), but has your time away given you a different perspective on how everything went down? I know when you left you stood behind the initial "offer" and I'm wondering if that's the case for you today. FWIW, I don't have you on any particular list outside of this incident.
I regret the delivery (there were far too many "I" statements in it, and it was too disconnected of a way to do it) but I don't regret the offer. I was most shocked that people seemed to think that I had an ulterior motive, that it was to get "points", or to alleviate personal guilt, or that I was banking on her saying no or something. It was no such thing. It was something I thought and prayed over. Discussed with my husband. I took it very seriously. Despite my personal failings and times of difficulty in my marriage (which at the time was much more stable) I would have been glad to do it. Honestly. I wish I could have helped. I'm sorry to have hurt anyone, and I'm sorry to have thrust a difficult question onto someone at a very difficult time.
I'll jut let this post stand as my statement that if anyone feels that I can help them when faced with a really scary family situation, please pm me and I will help if I can.
* please excuse any lack of eloquence in this post. I typed it while pumping gas. Lol.

Things are much better. Shit hit the fan at the end of June, and we realized we were both being dishonest with one another. We're fixing it. Dh isn't doing any photography anymore. I'm not treating him like just another pull on my time and energy anymore. I think we're headed to a good place.
