How Would You Feel?
Since no one reads this, I don't feel THAT embarrassed to write this.
So...I'm approached by Brandon with the "We need to talk...". Now, Brandon is NOT a big talker much less about emotions and stuff. So he starts off with "You know no matter what happens...I will always love you...unconditionally?" Okaaay....the only reason to say that is if something is going to happen, I'm thinking and telling him. So that alone gives me some suspicion...His point was he bought me some Rogaine because he feels that I'm balding. I certainly don't see it and could be in denial. Granted he's taller than me and can see directly on the top of my head. So he wants me to take Rogaine...not for me...but for him...This coming from the guy who just said..."no matter what..."....If I am actually balding, then this would fall under that no matter what category, would it not? Anyway, I was a little offended, okay a lot, and ended up agreeing to this...if he does it for me...Cause I don't feel I need it. How would you feel if your husband, who said he unconditionally loved you, bought that for you...without asking first? There, I'm done...That's all I had to say about that!!!!
I'm with you. If Monte came home and said "hey, I love you, but I've got you an appointment with a plastic surgeon for a boob job" I'd be pretty mad. But if I said, "hey, I'd like a boob job because I look like a middle aged man," and he said he'd fund it, that would be totally different. Besides, isn't Rogaine a big no no for women in their childbearing years because it could hurt a potential pregnancy? I forget, I think there's some hair regrowth thing on the market that is bad news but I forget now which one it is. At any rate, I'm sure his heart was in the right place, but seriously dude!
Well first of all, FYI, I read your blog! Second, I think everyone's getting a little carried away. Buying you some shampoo and asking you to get elective surgery are two completely different things! Granted, Brandon probably went about it the wrong way, but it's human nature to want to improve upon things. It's along the same lines as saying, I think you should wear your hair short--I like it better that way. Or, let's start exercising together. Or we should go shopping for some new clothes. Or, let’s get new kitchen cabinets or I think the living room would look better painted red. I think he made it more dramatic than it needed to be with starting out with "I'll love you no matter what". He shouldn't have even said that! Maybe I'm not as sensitive as the average woman, but I just wouldn't worry that much about it.
I don't know, Shauna...I'd be all about those things listed above...the irony of it all is that Brandon's hair is the one I'm cleaning out of the bathtub and also clogging up the drain. He's lucky he has thick hair. I guess I'm sensitive...no, not guess, I AM very sensitive...just part of my nature.
Hey Karen! Just found your blog-I would be totally mad at Geoff. He would pay for that one for many many weeks to come. And I think Kristi is right about the women not using it during the childbearing years-I would check into it! Brook
