| I think I may be over-reacting and need a reality check. Am I expecting too much from DH? Here is the story. I found out a couple of months ago that I needed surgery not life threatening but something that will take me off my feet for a couple months. DH first reaction how much will it cost? I was irritated that would be the first concern/question. Surgery scheduled. DH question will it impact a fishing trip he had planned. My response no I will have other help so he should go. Surgery day DH took day off from work. Surgery was early morning. I was out by early afternoon. DH left by late afternoon we live about 30 miles away to take care of pets, and yard/garden. Came back to pick me up on day of discharge a few days later. Since home, DH has fixed food. He will get water, ice, help me around when asked. He complained about needing to go to three pharmacies to get prescription. However, other than one quick kiss before he went to bed two days after I got home and before he left for fishing trip, he has not touched, kissed, held my hand, hugged me, or otherwise touched me. Some days when he comes home, he pets the dog, and goes about his business which is usually to take a nap sometimes with a quick hi. Many nights there is no saying good night. To his benefit, he is working FT and we have several pets and a rather large yard/garden to care for. I asked him last night if the caregiving was harder than he thought. He said no, it was easier. I told him I wondered because he seemed kind of aloof and thought it might be stressful. He repeated the word "aloof" and said nothing else. In bed he patted my shoulder and told me he loved me . . . first time in a very long time . . . and rolled over and went to sleep. Not sure what to make of all this. Any thoughts . . . anyone? | |||
