The most incredible experience next to childbirth. I was so elated. On cloud nine. I had such overwhelming feelings: pride, love, adoration, etc... I was perfect.

Hang in there, support your husband no matter what, and when you finally get to talk to him, don't tell him about all the stupid stuff. Let him know how proud you are of him!
