I need a rant!

..

Other than to say.......

Hope you feel better soon xxxxxxx

Hey 

I *was* gonna have my own little mini-rant about how other people don't understand the emotions running thru our heads.

But I can't say anything better than LondonLass has posted

I wish you the very best with your journey!

Hope you all feel better soon

I am divorced and every now and then someone asks me if I would like a new “ relationship “.........I had 30 years of picking up wet towels , pairing socks , scraping toothpaste off a basin ........why would I want to volunteer for this again !???

Don't forget every year about 500 UK Men get Breast Cancer too and some may well be sleeper members  :-/

Just sayin'  -  Men are from Mars & Women from Venus   viva le' difference.

Hugs, G n' J

Poor Dreamthief......you are outnumbered on this thread and your post will certainly put the ' cat among the pigeons ' for a fiery day of discussion.

In defence of some men.....I don't have one of the above. Insulin dependent diabetic for nearly 40 years, he never makes a fuss. His treatment has changed with technology and he now has a pump and blood test sensor which means less injecting and skin pricking but over the years he's never complained. Sometimes I have seen him wince with pain when the needle hits outside of muscle but he never makes a sound. It is me who makes him tell the doctor if I think he has something that won't go on it's own. I have told all my friends.....if he ever complains about a pain, act quickly because he must feel ill!

Don't  get me wrong....he isn't the perfect man. He struggles to cook and he could be tidier but he is very practical so we sort of unofficially agreed to share....he does shelves, I do dinner!

I know plenty men like those in the rant. I don't  disagree lots have no understanding about illness. Lots are hypochondriac with a capital H but I felt I must defend the few who aren't........I suspect Dreamthief , because of all the care and concern for J you have shared with us over the years, you would join my husband's group......

Have a nice day. Sun is out. I'm off to market. 

Love Karen

I needed a rant. So I ranted. And the reason I needed to rant on here was because for 98% of the time he does great..

I think I said, great cook, great at cleaning, washing ,shopping and nursing. Having had two lots of surgery on my feet he's had enough practise. He made me breakfast in bed for 3 months. Last time I had BC I got an infection. He learnt how to unpack and pack the wound so we could have  a few days away in the van.

But yesterday, was yesterday and he pushed all the buttons and I needed a rant.

It's allowed isn't it?

Of course it’s allowed, Silverberg!
