hi gg,
I'm sorry if your hubby doesn't "get" this...maybe it's something that guys just might not understand?Perhaps it's b/c guys are more inclined to come right out and say "quit it" if they don't like something, and not give it too much of a 2nd thought. Maybe they just don't always get that it's different for women, who worry about the ramifications and interpretations of every small gesture (sometimes to our detriment!)
I hope the whole event goes OK. Remember that YOU'RE the injured party, not your Uncle (even if he acts suffering-martyr-ish about it.)
One more idea: Make yourself a brooch adorned with cactus spikes or some kind of sharp stuff, a la modern art, and attach it prominently to your bosom when you see dear Uncle approaching. Let him come in for a close hug and the excruciating agony of cactus spike removal later on!
