Thanks for the input, Dinah. It doesn't sound jaded to me as much as it sounds realistic. My T has said similar things....that wishing for or needing something is one thing, but my husband's capacity for meeting that need is another. I suppose it IS healthy to keep them more realistically in-line. And I suppose communicating them is also a good thing.
At the same time, I find myself starting to think about making my own plans (which of course could include him) for my 40th birthday. I want it to be fun and I want to do something special. So if I plan it myself, there's much less chance of being disappointed, right?
And incidentally, one tiny, I need to whisper it idea is a wish to get together with my online friends. Shhhh, can't commit to it yet. But it's brewing. :)
Or we can always do an Open party. Or a conference, since Yahoo chat is so annoying.
