correcting assumptions.
ok i have to clear up the fact that i have been very sympathetic, and have hugely catered to Lance in the last few days since he became gimpy. fetching beverages, and pain medication, cooking, and taking out the trash. yeah, i have Been VERY NICE. I'm just not overly sympathetic since i believe he did it to himself. and i am GLAD he finally went to urgent care and tried to get him to go everyday, all day since he injured himself. so i just wanted to clear that up. just in case people thought i wasn't being a nice wife and catering to his pathetic state, let me tell you I have been. ALOT! he even said I have been GREAT! so there! neener neener. no worries that i am a mean and uncaring wife. i was just saying he took his time finally getting it seen. and repeating that he felt like he looked dorky when walking which he did. it's better now. not so dorky.

DUDE!!
anyone who knows you or "knows" (blog wise) you would never assume you are a mean wife.
i think it must be a man thing waiting forever to go to the doctor.
and
i think anyone who has a man in their life knows that.
i am sure you have been perfectly pleasant in an i-told-you-so kind of wife-knows-best sort of way!
;)
LOL - were people giving you a hard time? Anyone who is married knows that men are naturally whiners. It's a fact of life. We know you're not a mean wife. But I know why you had to clear that up.
Umm~ who the crap would judge you over this???
Do people not have a life??
Men are whiners.It's a known fact. I dote on my husband, try to sound sympatethic even if I'm not feeling it..but sometimes I feel exasperated that he has not taken care of himself. Plus when I am sick, I am on my own. When he is sick, I am his nurse maid. I love him so it is ok, but like I said, men are whiners!
I think you are wonderful! Ignore the snotty comments. Until you walks a mile in your shoes.....
No, we ALL know that men are whiney!!! ;)
What? I never would have dreamed you were a mean wife....I knew you were totally taking care of your man and just letting us know how annoying men are (in general) about the whole DR. thing....no worries! You're a great woman! :)
I can relate. I am in pain all the time so when someone over here hurts themselves I am NOT overly sympathetic. I need to be better about this I know. It's one of my challenges. Good for you being a nice wife and taking care of you sweetie! I commend you!
Men are babies. I have no sympathy ever according to my hubby. He lies. LOL He will also never never go to the Dr. drives me nuts.
I have no doubts about you being the greatest wife, but I'm sure you feel better after clearing things up... WAY TO GO GIRL!
Ummm..You're the best. Men are little WEENY'S. Poor Lance. That sucks. My sis just had bone spurs removed and I guess they hurt REAL bad. Hope he and you feel better soon.
I always knew you were being nice...it is hard to have sympathy though when they are too stubborn to go get fixed! If I hurt, I don't want to hurt, so I go get fixed. It just makes sense.
♡ You crack me up! I never even thought that either! I'm glad he's on the mend though! :)
Jon is a super wuss. I get the same way and sometimes I feel like if he whines again my eyes will fall into my head because I roll them so much.
You are not alone. Men are goobers.
Oh a funny post. Lauri had your link on her page and I decided to "lurk", ok I have lurked at your page a couple of times. I am posting a comment, does that cancelling my "lurking". Anyway, too funny, men are odd creatures. I have been trying to get my husband to go to the doctors for years. I guess men love to live a place called "denial", whereas women live at "acceptance".I just don't accept the invitation to the pity party, I decline the RSVP. What a good wife to cater to him, while is is injured. Cute blog page!
Whoever would assume your a mean wife is a jackass...there, I said what you would like, too.
When you live in a house with someone you help when their sick if you are sympathetic or not...'nuff said ;)
LOL Jules you are like me, the sympathy is there but only so much when they DO IT TO THEMSELVES, HELLO?! Why are men like that sometimes? Hope he is feeling better.
Well, not all of us had the benefit and blessing of being born a woman... seriously, I believe many women capture some of the most incredible aspects of our creator...
But not all of us guys are, as some of you put it, "goobers", "weenies", and so on... some of us are the type of guys who hang in there when it gets really difficult, and take care of the whole family. My wife became fully disabled 6 years ago, and I am hanging in there, taking care of her, working a job and taking care of our two boys, 9 and 12. Some of us shine when it gets tough - in all fairness, though, most women are better at it.
I am amazed at the incredible inner strength, perseverance and love so many strong women exhibit. I am not intimidated, but rather encouraged, by women who are confident and bold.
Most amazing of all, perhaps, is the equal partnership of a marriage filled with love, compassion and support for each other. That, I think, is unstoppable, and reading between the lines, sounds like what you have. The example set for the children of homes like that really raise the expectations those children will carry into their own relationships.
Blessings to each of you...
Namaste! ("The Spirit within me honors and respects the Spirit within you").

thanks for clarifying...you are awesome!
I had to go back to the previous posts to see if someone was rude or assuming about you. I am sorry if someone was rude, we all know you love your husband and your family!!
My hubby and I are both very unsympathetic people when it comes to our own aches and pains. But when it comes to the kids, we are a little better. But I figure he's an adult and he can take care of himself, I will worry about the kids. So I totally understand! I never would think you were a mean wife, just busy taking care of the kids! Keep up the good work!
