One of the things that still catches me off guard at times is how my wife can go from super grateful/thankful to endless shit test in the drop of a hat.

I've got work to do. I fully acknowledge that.

I'm starting to believe they are an entirely separate, albeit also sentient, species. ;)

I admit that it bugs me. Probably more than it should, and yet the reason for this is likely the amount of extra care she requires.

She's always had issues with a Vertigo type of thing due to being Anemic most of her life.

We finally got most of that under control with iron supplements and testing, etc, but there are still days when she can barely get out of bed.

Now I had no idea what was going on when I married her, just that she got light headed from time to time. I thought it was her shitty diet and bad air where she lived. We moved to another state, and it disappeared almost completely. We move back, and now it's back. So location is definitely a factor.

Anyway, it doesn't upset me that I've had to take care of her, but it does upset me sometimes that as soon as she is feeling better, the phase I call 'The Thankless Cunt(tm)' emerges.

I guess what galls the most is that another human being, who's life I have literally save a half dozen times in one way or another could treat me like this.

It's almost unfathomable to a logical, thinking person.
