Family, having a good quiet day today so far, I hope so. I went out to breakfast, did not eat anything, so I have breakfast leftovers in the fridge. Maybe dinner, maybe tomorrow breakfast. The waitress looks at me weird when I scoop the entire meal into a doggie bag before I touched anything. I did drink the coffee, and make some excuse if I bother. The wait staff expect me to do this, and mostly do not ask anymore. I do not like to eat in public in public. I dribble far too much and choke myself too often. Such is the joy of trigeminal Neuralgia face surgery twice on one side and once on the other.
She who must be obeyed likes to eat out, as "YOU" can tell I am not keen on it, BUT. There are two people in this relationship. I put up with things that I do not like because there are two people involved. I ask her to do the same, but if she says NO I will cope with it. At times I insist on her accommodating me. I understand that there are two people and I am smart enough to know it can be very hard at times, but we are a couple. Dare I say it a team. We are in this together as are "YOU" and yours. Ask them to understand, insist that they understand. PROTECT YOURSELF but stand your ground.
The aim is to have a long joyful life. If not joyful at least content. "YOU" have power, act like it, in this life do not allow yourself just to be a pebble, kicked to the side of the road and forgotten.

Stand up for yourself, do not be taken for granted.
