Hi JO, good to see you again!!

I will be honest, a part of me has thought the same thing as your DH. I have tried and tried and no matter how close i get, i still loose. Even my sister has said that if it was her, she would have probably given up trying by now becuase she would take it as the world trying to give her a message.

I did feel a bit like this for a while, but the way i ended up looking at it was a bit like what we talked about a few weeks ago, sitting there with our screaming kids running around us and us relishing in their delight rather than telling them to shut up - this journey though it might be hard is one we for some reason are meant to take. But we are meant to take it. And one day we will look back and be all the more grateful for it because it was so hard.
I beleive to experince the best of the best to its fullest, you need to have some idea of the worst to appreciate it. And we have definately felt the worst. It wont be easy, but i know this is what you and your DH want and you will have the strength to see it through together.
it sounds like he was just having a moment. We all have them. And you were right to feel abit put off, but im sure he was just feeling a little down on himself and was trying to justify his problems a little bit. He has done well to get over it so quickly!!

Take care
