I got my saliva testing kit through the post to join the Anthony Nolan bone marrow register. I was reading through the stuff and commented to dh that he could join too. He dismissed the idea totally. He said that he has a donor card so they can take what they want when he's dead but he wouldn't be donating bone marrow or even looking at the website. He said it's harder than giving blood (which he has done once in his life ). I asked him how he knew - he said he doesn't know but he imagines it's harder. Still refused to even look at the website.
So he changes the conversation to tell me about the bloke that came over to fix the dishwasher. Apparently said bloke told dh about a website where you can buy and sell shares without risking losing any money. Dh enthused about this idea for a while and finished up by saying he really wants to check it out.
I made my excuses, went upstairs and cried.
Do I not know my dh at all? Are we really occupants of such totally opposite planets?
Sorry - I do know this isn't exactly soap opera stuff but I really feel devastated to be confronted with yet more evidence of what I see as his small minded selfish materialism and I hate it.
Am I being ridiculously hormonal? (12 wks preg)
