Frustrated

Okay, just a little frustrated. 9 months ago, I started planning for this trip to Mexico for a month of volunteer medical corps. My husband just vetoed all plans!!! I understand he loves me and is worried that something could happen, but hell I could be walking the dog and trip over a log and something could happen. So, those who read my blog, any ideas on how to convince he that I am a big girl?????

  1. Hey, you work in the ER, that's pretty dangerous in and of itself. Has your husband ever experienced a full-mooned, first of the month Friday night in the ER?

  2. See that has been my argument... Plus, I am a 3rd degree black belt and have concealed weapons permit. I think I can protect myself quite well.

  3. Vetoed? Sounds like a dictatorship rather than a marriage.

  4. Did he know about your plans as you were going along, or does he feel like it's something that was sprung on him out of nowhere? Different approach needed depending on where he's at.

    My dh gets overprotective sometimes, too. I tend to make a list of pros/cons and analyze the thing to death. I've even typed up a list of his objections and my reasons that his objections are unreasonable - email to him and make an appointment to discuss it in a few days. At least that's what works for me. Just a few ideas.

  5. WarmSock,
    He has help plan it, but something got him all worried. Think the time is just getting closer, and he is just being a husband. Thanks for listing to my ranting. I figure that I give him a few days and convince him that I will be okay.

  6. Time is often exactly what's needed. Let me know how it goes. And I'd love to hear about your trip.
