neurotic Iraqi wife

Im feeling much better today after releasing all my anger in yesterday's post. I am so grateful for the kind words that everyone left in the comments section. It really brightened up my day and lessened the headache. Although I seriously dont mind being critisized either, cuz there are things that I might not able to see without someone actually pointing them out to me. You guys have been one of my greatest support during my down days. But I had to get things off my chest especially when it concerns doubts about HUBBY and my attachment to him......

Nothing much has been happening really since Im quite busy with the assignment that I was given, therefore I tend to go back down memory lane, and recall all the funny/sad moments in my life.

Today I want it to be a funny memory, that will put a smile on my face, for smiling has become quite rare in this world, in this fast life we are living in....

One day, more than a year ago, as I was chatting with HUBBY, at the time he was HUBBY to be, he had told me that he has a dentist appointment, and that he has to leave me for a while. For those who hasnt read my first couple of posts, I wanna tell you that even when we were courting, it was mostly done over the net, with msn messenger. Audio, video and the whole shebang. So in anycase, I told HUBBY to come back quick cuz I would be missing him already. After a couple of hours, HUBBY logged on. I immediately sent him a video invitation waiting for him to do the same. He accepted mine but didnt send ME one. Hmm, So I sent him an audio invitation and asked him to put the cam on. HUBBY's voice was kinda down, and he said"Sorry sweetie but my cam aint working".

I went mad, "what do you mean your cam aint working???it was working a few hours ago???" As always I thought he was hiding something from me. He kept on hmming and aaahing, then he said ok lemme try. He sent me the invitation for his webcam and without hesitation I accepted it. But HUBBY was no where to be seen. Hmm, wait a second, I squinted my eyes until I saw this tiny figure on the screen. I was looking so deeply that I bumped my head on the darn laptop, ouch. I took the mic, and said "HUBBY, I cant see you, you are too far, and could you please switch the lights on, I can barely make you out"

HUBBY, said" I cant switch the lights on, my eyes are aching from the dentist" Hmm his eyes??????I thought a dentist is someone who specialises in teeth and not in eyes???Something real fishy was goin on. My mind started playing games, and with an irritated voice I said"what eyes???I thought you went to the dentist???"

HUBBY: Yeah sweetie I did go to the dentist but his light was sooo strong that my eyes are aching and I wanna give them a break for a while.
ME: Hmm, ok, forget the lights, can you atleast come closer to the cam so I can see you???
HUBBY: Umm, I dont think its a good idea, cuz my face is a bit swollen and I dont want you to see me this way
ME: Oh cmon HUBBY, I dont mind, I miss you, I wanna see you.
HUBBY: No really darling, Im not in a good mood, and I cant talk much since my teeth are killing me
ME: I thought you just went for a clean up, what has the dentist done to you???
HUBBY: I had to have a filling, and he had to inject me with an aneasthetic, so Im in pain, can we chat later???
ME: No we cant chat later I wanna chat NOW, and I wanna see you NOW!!!(I dunno why but I felt that he was hiding something)
HUBBY: Please sweetie, Im tired, I wanna go and nap so the pain can subside, once I get up I will call you.

Now me being me, I wasnt satisfied, I got so damn pissed off, and took it personally as I always do. I logged off feeling down and miserable. But I couldnt just leave it at that, so I gave him a call, and with it I gave him a piece of my mind(and believe me that particular piece was humangous). So he relented and came online again.

This time his picture was crystal clear, and he had switched the lights on. And OMG, OMG, the minute I set my eyes on him, I fell of my chair with fits of laughter. HUBBY's face was red with blotches all over. AWWWWW, the sight really was painful to my eyes. OMG, "WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE??? and can you please switch the lights off, my eyes are twitching" hehe. HUBBY immediately switched the cam off and told me to stuff myself,lol. I swear I didnt know what had happened but he sure did look like someone who had a bad case of sunburn. I couldnt stop myself, the image is still in my mind. I begged him to tell me what he did, and what kind of a dentist he went to, cuz I sure as hell dunno dentists who would burn faces. I thought to myself maybe dentists in America are different.

After regaining my composure, I begged HUBBY to tell me what happened. He said with a voice filled with concern, that he actually went to a skin doctor, and the skin doctor made him believe that he needs lazer treatement. OMG, LAZER!!!!HUBBY underwent a LAZER treatment which he does not need, a treatment that made him look like a monkey's ass,looooooooooooool, sorry HUBBY. I swear I havent laughed so much, and my laughter increased after HUBBY was going on about how deformed he looks and how he fears that his face will stay like that forever. I could not fathom, why a perfectly sane person, who has perfect skin would need to undergo lazer, I swear that was just beyond me.

HUBBY on the other hand needed reassuring words, and not someone who cant control the laughter. It was his turn to be angry. He said with a voice filled with pain"Dont laugh, you should be telling me that its gonna be ok". A snort escaped my throat, and I tried so hard to control those darn fits of laughter I said"HUBBY darling, you are gonna be" and the fits just tumbled by one after the other, leaving poor HUBBY in no state of envy.

Thank god, after a few days his face became normal again, but till this day, I still dont know why he had done it, and what kind of doctor would convince someone to go ahead with a treatment that is aint needed.......

But I guess men will always be men, for although they bicker at us for spending so much time getting ready for an outing or for spending so much time infront of the mirror, they too have their own insecurities.

Umm HUBBY, next time you visit the "DENTIST" can you please make sure to tell me in advance so I can go and buy special glasses that would shield my eyes from the soreness of your sight????hehe
