Well.. its just different strokes for different folks really.
I dont blame him for what he's said... after all, that money from the savings is money spent on ME, rather than a holiday with the kids.
I think he's just compromising and assessing my motivation and committment to having this procedure done.
Also maybe hoping that in the meantime I might change my mind, as I dont think he completely relishes the idea of me undergoing the knife.
But he is supportive and wouldn't tell me to not have it done, as he knows where he'd get told to stick that opinion if he voiced it anyway!
