My father in law was here for 10 days over Thanksgiving and my husband's birthday and I did not breathe a word about my surgery to him. He is sweet, but I just didn't want to deal with his reaction and I REALLY don't want him to tell my sister-in-law, who is not sweet.
So all went well all week, then, as I am driving him to the airport (an hour drive) he suddenly starts talking about my surgery!
What the heck?! I knew hubby must have told him and I was FURIOUS!
But I still had to spend 30 minutes defending my decision. I mean, he asked me if there were any activities I liked to do (like I never tried exercising). He told me about how he skipped lunch to play handball, I mean, he went on and on as if I had never tried anything. So I ended up telling him that I had lost 500 pounds on various diets, but had gained back 600. I also told him that only 5% of people who lose as much weight as I need to, actually of weight keep it off. I told him lots of sensible things, but I just didn't want to have that conversation at all! Oh I was mad.
I got home and told sweet hubby what he'd done and he was just so upset with himself - he appologized 100 times and wrote to his dad to tell him he shouldn't have said anything. I hope that is enough to keep him from telling my SIL - she is from Hades. Grrrrrrr.... But I still feel all off balance about it - still feel upset. I need to let go of this, but I am so MAD!!
Just had to vent...
