Hello fellow mylotters.............i needed help from you guys.My husband passed the board exam and they're going to have an oath taking this coming Friday.We agreed that i will be going to witness it.All is set and ready even the dress i am going to wear.But there's this last minute glitch.....i started having minor migraine attack before going to bed last night-still have it until this moment but it's tolerable.So the scheduled activity will push through.....of all the time and days in the world why no?Aunt Rose just visited me!
I feel lazy and awful and don't feel like wearing a dress.Now i am having second thoughts.Either i will not go or go with him wearing whatever is comfortable for me-might be jeans or slacks and blouse.
If you are in my shoes what would you do?I am in dire need of your advice so as to avoid any arguments with the guy
.Your thoughts and ideas are very much appreciated.Thanks!

If I were in your shoes, I'd just tell my partner of what I am dealing with. If my partner's concern outweighs the importance of the event, my partner might even insist that I stay and take some rest.
Of course, my partner as well as I would be disappointed so, even with something like that, if I can still manage, I'd still insist on coming but, afterwards, head straight home to take that rest before it gets anything worse. Least my partner would know that the I would also like to be there during an event that is very important.

This sounds like an important event in your husband's life and if your migraine is "tolerable" you should go. Forget the dress and wear some dressy jeans so you are more comfortable. Sometimes we do things we don't feel like for people we love because we know how important our support is to them. If you get into a fight with him over this it will just make your migraine worse again anyway, so you may as well go!

As a husband/wife we commonly do things for our spouses that we choose not to. Here's what I am thinking: have you tried to communicate what the situation is with your husband? I think that is the most crucial thing that people lack: the idea of communication. Listen, here is the situation, here I how I feel about it, here is what I would like you do, do you have any problems with that? Share your imput with me and let's think what is best.
If it were me, the idea of having an attractive women on my arm wearing a nice dress would really make me feel like a million bucks but I would listen to her and sympathize, to the best of my ability.

Hi Misty, sometimes we just have to do things we don't like. It's a big event for him, so he'd be disappointed if you're not there. And getting dressed up may change your mood.
I've got myself into the same situation as you before. I promised to accompany him for a dinner..on the day itself, I felt lazy, depressed, moody...I guess if I were to tell him about not going, he'd say it's okay, but he'd be disappointed. So I forced myself to dress up, put on all the 'party colours' - well, it got better as the evening progressed. So give it a try...it may turn out to be fun!

Hi lazeebee....thanks for sharing.I made it there though the migraine still made its attack few hours before the event.It's true it turn out to be fun.Later today we'll be having dinner with the representatives from the Philippines-those who officiated the oath taking.
Just feeling naughty
.....it's good to have those situations sometimes.I get pampered and taken cared of.Maybe i need some more migraine attacks
