This FR is based on /u/88Will88 's post today, about leading. A happy woman acts like a child with her man. An unhappy woman can also be childlike with a man with whom she is happy.

Situation : Major medical issue with wife, will impact not only her future but ours as a family / couple.

The other evening we were talking about logistics for what to do with given disease. She does a TON of research on it, reads scholarly articles and so on. We aren't talking Vox or what ever.

So when she tells me she wants to do X, I tend to think that she really thought it through ( and that is usually the case).

We are sitting there and she tells me that she doesn't want to go through treatments X Y and Z because of pain, and low success rate anyway and so on. I put on my "supportive" side and tell her that since she thought it through, although I do not like it, we will do what she decided, because, you know, her body.

She got very upset with me. During the subsequent conversation, she said something like "You are my HUSBAND, I want you to tell me what to do. I need that".

Point fucking blank. Even when it comes to life and death, you decide. She needs you to lead, and she is looking at you for answers, because you have to be sure, even when the world is not.
