Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am going to gently suggest he come up with a list of questions for when he sees his doctor on the 27th - on his previous visits he pretty much hasn't asked any.

Good luck. It is really hard. One thing that has worked for me in the past, is frame it in terms of me. "I'm really worried and when you do X it stresses me out A LOT." No ultimatums, but just state that X behavior results in Y reaction by someone who loves him, and cares about his well being.

It may not work, but it's honest and sets up an expectation of your own reaction to his actions, which DO affect you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, his response is "I'm not worried, damage was to bone, not ligaments." So... s'alright.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it! DW got me a gift that made me ugly cry - a commission of us with Shane by the artist who did one of just us and our cats many years ago. Total surprise and I totally had to run out of the room I was losing it so hard. Perfect gift + pregnancy hormones = bawling Mama.
