It's been difficult all the way through, and still difficult now to give rein to my emotions. He is such a wonderful, stoic, cheerful man who's had a lot of tragedy in his life (his wife died at 39 from an aneurysm). I never want to upset him with my distress. So I think I understand the stress of the consideration you're giving your partner.
