TGD, my hero
So every once in awhile I have to give TGD major props, because I know I complain a lot (hello, I am married) but he really is a fantastic husband and father. Case in point: last week when my entire family was struck down with the flu. Not only did TGD take time off of work to help me take care of the kids but he then had to take even more time off to take care of ME and the kids when I got sick. And I gotta tell ya, I am not an easy patient. I do not do "sick" well. I'm whiny and very needy, plus I have a tendency to pass out while puking which makes a big mess and is sort of dangerous. We discovered this a few years ago when TGD found me lying in a pool of vomit (which he cleaned up) with my mouth open, still puking but totally passed out. So since then whenever I have to go to the bathroom he has to accompany me and literally hold me over the toilet to support me if I pass out. So combine that with having to take care of clingy kids and you'll get an idea of what an amazing guy he is. And he didn't just "get by" because while he was taking care of everybody he was also doing laundry and cleaning everything - more than once. The list could go on and on as to everything he actually did but I think you get the point. It's times like those that remind me how lucky I really am. It's why if we ever got a divorce (which will never happen because I'm not a fool) I think my mother would probably disown me and officially adopt him.

Awwww. So nice for TGD to help you puke. Good thing he is a doctor. I think my spouse would try to hold me up, but then maybe puke all over my shoulder as he has a pretty strong gag reflex.
And, you are correct about Mom disowning you if you divorce. Sorry. Maybe she would not disown you, but just sigh and shake her head every time she saw you, which might be worse.
