No, Joe, I’m pretty sure it’s because my husband of 11 years is 18 years my junior.

And I didn’t cower. Stop now.

I was venting, not looking for advice or recrimination. So just stop now, please.

Ah, I understand the hero comment now. I hadn’t made the connection.

But I’ll stop when I feel like it.

Since you’re venting, and have vented, and since you don’t care for the feedback you’re getting, I’m going to close this.
