My husband currently is alternating between tossing his cookies in the bathroom, taking a shower to warm up, (it was 91 degrees here today and humid), and laying in bed tossing and turning. He has a kidney stone, (and no he doesn't want to go to the hospital).

And, if he didn't he would never begrudge me something I enjoy doing. He hasn't for 22 years. It works both ways. He enjoys playing hockey four nights a week and I hate hockey but I don't complain that he plays because he loves it.

After many years of marriage you tend to read each others thoughts so well the catching up usually takes care of itself.

The selfishness tends to evaporate with age/maturity.

I understand what you mean. But my point wasn't about selfishness, just that many married couples like catching up with each other in the evening.

By the way, I hope that your husband feels better soon Teri.
