I am by no means sticking up for this dude, but maybe he is legit afraid you'll leave him so he's beating you to the punch (so to speak). That bring said, he's a tool for telling you this the night before surgery. He knows you'll worry and fret.
I hope your procedure went well, girl.
I can't wait to:
Chase my kids without needing a break
Get chased by my husband
Run
Bike
Climb
Not be ashamed of how I have to wiggle in and out of places.
Amusement park rides
Disney world
Shopping on the clearance rack
Shopping at normal stores
Not having my grocery cart evaluated by the cashier
sleeping through the night
No more achey hips
Phew! I bet I could come up with a few more!!
