lolol! what a great question.
I think the person who resolves the problem is the brave one. Although, support given should not be discounted.
For example, when my son fell on some glass embedded in the frozen river and came limping home to my (then student) husband with a deep gash that needed stitches, my (then) husband waited until I got home from work to deal with it.
I sort of think the person who "deals with it" is the brave one.
We went to the doctor and son got his stitches. However, I know clearly and firmly, had I been the one he limped home to, I'd not have waited until my spouse got home from work some 3 hours later!
I don't think your situation is that much different. Your hubby can always go into the other room to agonize about you going up the ladder. You are the one ON the ladder.
So, for bravery, I think you win the prize!
Call me prejudiced or whatever, but, dealing with crises (big or small), I think the person who takes on the challenge to get the situation resolved is brave.
