Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM.

I'm 11. Penny, welcome to the program. Hello. I'm a long time listener. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Since you are an AM, AM radio. And so I'm my kid mom, my husband's girlfriend. And I just want to tell you before I ask you one question that I did my husband and I followed your advice to a T while our kids were, you know, in their their younger years like from zero to 10.

And because of that, the teenage years are a breeze. Thank you. I hear everyone complaining about their teenage boys and the hearts are just amazing. And it's because we follow the doctor Laura rules of raising the kids and doing it right.

Thank you. That's wonderful. I wish you'd write an essay and send it in here. Seriously. No, that's not joke. I mean, I hear you. I hear you. Go ahead. Absolutely.

I think I'm being irrational. And I thought I'd call you for confirmation of of my irrationality because my husband and I have an amazing relationship and our sex life is amazing. And I'm 46. And he's getting as a sect to me tomorrow.

And I think I'm putting like my anxieties on him. And I think I'm being irrational because we've gotten all the medical opinion. So we know that the procedures.

What exactly are you fearful about? I'm just worried that, you know, the the small likelihood to be minimal likelihood that there is a complication that will affect our amazing relationship if something goes on.

I mean, if he can't have sex anymore. Yeah. And I'm 46. It's not like I'm at such a huge. And what have they told you could happen that would make him not be able to have erections?

Yeah, there's like a very, very small minister tend that, you know, nerves get damaged.

You know, within the procedure. And, you know, we've been using condoms religiously because we don't want to have another child. And so we have this affect to me appointment for tomorrow. But I'm thinking I'm 46. I mean, is it.

I'm just feeling very anxious about tomorrow and my husband getting annoyed with me. So shut up.

Yeah, I don't mind you being anxious. If you'd like to be anxious. It's your privilege, but shut up.

Yeah, because he's good with it.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Okay. I'll shut up.

Good. He's willing to take the minuscule risk. Okay. And he doesn't.

I mean, you're right. He's getting annoyed with you.

I mean, there's more to this relationship than him having an erection.

And perhaps you're leaving him with the thought that that's all that matters to you.

That somehow you're so anxious and devastated that if he can't get it up, that's the end of the relationship.
