DH and I celebrate our 20th anniversary this week. It's been a ride, and not always a fun one.

DH would never post loving messages about me on Fakebook for fear of upsetting his volatile grown-ass children. Today he broke through that barrier. I kinda think their fee fees didn't cross his mind--he so rarely talks to them. 

Life is a lot easier now that other people have no control over our lives.

Happy Anniversary to you, too! It is nice having a DH who's not afraid to post about you on social media.

Congrats and happy anniversary to you and Survivingstephell! 
It's incredible that "we" cater to people who often wish the worst for us, and so freeing when we cut that loose!

Happy Anniversary, and congratulations not just on the milestone but breaking through the social media barrier! Although no doubt, a lot of posts on "Fakebook" are just that, the absence of posting about someone when a person posts about others speaks volumes. So glad your DH finally recognized you publicly, SKs be damned! And I was wondering whether your DH went to the SGS's graduation. I didn't see an update on that and was curious.

You have a good memory!

We did get an actual invitation to SGS's graduation. DH was happy but obviously conflicted. His end of the conversation consisted of: "I'd like to go. Well figure it out. I don't know what to do." My comments: "Uh huh, Okay, Sure, We should get him a nice gift."

That's the last I've heard of it.

Too late at this point. So he will be chastised again. And the gift will be late. I will remind him about that because I do care for the young man.

Even knowing that DH has some memory issues, I don't feel bad in the least. He has a paper and electronic calendar. SS or SD could have asked his plans or told him about graduation events. Nope, none of that. These people are for sure not my monkeys.

Pretty good, especially compared to a year ago when he was hospitalized.

Is there a cure or treatment for stubbornness? His autoimmune illness is well controlled but his mobility is limited, including basic balance. He won't get evaluated for PT because he's SURE it won't help. I'm going to call his primary care doctor before his next appt and maybe she'll convince him. We've got a big trip coming up in the fall and he's also sure he'll be FINE keeping up on walking tours.

I'm not saying he never makes me crazy, but we've got a good groove between us right now.

May your celebrations be.... "Those people" free and your ongoing journey through your life adventures with your mates be everything you want it to be.

Enjoy building your loves for  the ages with your SOs.  

Let "those people" drift far, far away.
