My husband loves to recount this story: When we were first married, he came down with the flu. One night, he was having a particularly tough time sleeping."Honey, wake up. I don't feel well."I barely moved."Honey, please. Wake up. I can't sleep."Grunt.The pleading got a bit more insistent until I managed to register that someone was talking to me, and I wasn't dreaming.

by Karen Klein When my husband tells me, "You didn't sign up for this," I think, yes, I did. Sixteen years ago, on our wedding day, I made a bunch of promises in front of a room full of people. One of those promises had something to do with "in sickness and in health." So yes, I did sign up for this. I just didn't think I'd be called upon to fulfill the worst version of that one. But you don't get to pick and choose.
