Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast.

You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM Triumph 11.

Susan, welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura.

Thank you for taking my call.

Thank you.

I'm just going to tell you my situation. I am 58. My husband is 62. We've been married for 37

years and have three super ugly children and one equally ugly grandson. Excellent. And I was a stay-home mom

for which I am incredibly, incredibly grateful and have the support of my husband to do that.

So that was great.

Nice.

So here's my thing.

I have to give you a couple of background incidents.

About 15 years ago, my husband was acting kind of strangely, and I felt like I could read him pretty well.

And I said, what was going on?

And he said, well, I called an ex-girlfriend, blah, blah, blah.

And, yeah, I just don't feel very good about it.

It was awkward when I called her.

And I said, well, number one, I don't think you should have called her.

And it probably opened up a can of worms for her as well as for you.

He's a very melancholy kind of man and also kind of a don't ask permission, ask forgiveness kind of guy.

So there was that.
