SPECIAL OCCASIONS – WIFE TRAUMA AND OTHER INFORMATION
You will suffer wife trauma every time your man goes on an eating binge. Just don’t let him know what you’re going through. My husband had a self-destructive fling that lasted for three days during which he ate everything in sight and convinced me he was experiencing a severe death wish. He never confided his real problem to me. On the fourth day he was back to normal and set about losing the weight he had gained.No matter how much you do for him, you can’t do everything. There will be times you will want to pull your hair out. It’s a fact of life.An oops does not happen on a special occasion, because you know about most of them ahead of time and can more or less budget them into your day. An oops is often a mistake or a forgotten priority, rather than a blatant attempt to eat something forbidden. An oops can be worked off by exercise, or simply forgotten. As long as it doesn’t happen too often, it’s unimportant.Men usually choose to celebrate their special days with nostalgia —a piece of comfort out of their eating past—a drink or two, a piece of cake or pie, ice cream, pasta, or four hot dogs (with buns and loaded with mustard and relish) at the ball game with beer, popcorn, and a chocolate-covered banana on a stick. A special day is sort of like a binge with tradition behind it. Don’t deny him!*136/243/1*
