This weekend, I was able to speak with many of you who have struggled with spouse support and our challenge. For the sake of those involved, you will remain
anonymous (except for my poor husband).
We have at least one of us who is thrilled with the way her husband is helping her. They go on walks and he has tried to support her in every way possible.
We have another who's husband left M&M's on the table on Saturday and apparently, had no concept of "game" until Sunday. Once he found out about the money, he almost made our member run home alongside the car!
Thomas tries really hard to be compassionate, but I think it is hard for a lifetime skinny person to understand what I am trying to do. So, there I sat last night with another member of our group, while our husbands ordered chips and salsa and munched on them in front of our faces! Thomas never would have ordered them, had it been just the two of us, but the other husband ordered them and Thomas had no problem eating them.
Where does your spouse rank? Are they supportive? Have you told them about the cash prize yet? If so, how did it change their perspective?
