Caught In The Middle

It makes you want to scream, does it not?

Well, I had just a day like this. My sister truly wants the husband and I to visit for her daughters birthday but we have way too many bills at the moment and cant afford to just rush off. Knowing this she decides she doesn’t care and is willing to pay for a bus ticket, there and back. This is all find and good but one problem, the husband.

Men, as in their nature, dont enjoy being put on the spot in such matters, I know this. They also don’t like the idea that they can’t afford to give their wives the world or fix everything that might go wrong. So what does my typically male husband do? He says no that we still cant go. OH the powerful male ego roaring the happy tune. I didn’t want my sister to even mention her idea because I already knew how my husband would respond.

Instead, she calls him and they bicker back and forth for a bit and then he hangs up on her, after she stated that he didnt care for my feelings and was trying to control me and keep me away from my family. HMM, not the husband I know.

Being me, I tried my best to stay as far from it as I could and even tried to smooth things over, not a chance of that happening anytime soon. I dont think my sister understands men yet, even though she is married and I personally know her husband would respond the same. And I don’t think my husband is going to stop being a manly male anytime soon. Oh the fun.

UPDATE: My friend who I posted about below has came through surgery ok but is now having a bit of trouble with fluid on her lungs, they also did a quad-by-pass instead of the triple. Poor soul, shes having a rough go of it right now. Being we are in different states I can only wish her the best and pray for her and her family.
