I say if a Man feels strongly about this his wife should re Spect his m aware Ann that some men would t miss it for the world but it s just not for me. I resent being pressured Andam angry that my wife is going Back on her word. And what about the medical staff being hindered by a husband who i there under protest should t they be consulted i can t be the Only Guy in the world who feels this Way. What do your male readers say please ask this letter i la be in the waiting room in Cali fornia dear waiting room you sound like a Man who is afraid he might pass out if he has to watch the birth of a child.

Rather than let Ben suffer Mark told the yet to put him to sleep. Mark held Ben while the vet gave him the shot and he rocked him gently until he died. got Home Mark cried openly and has been very quiet for the past several Days. My father insists that any Man who would get that emotional Over an animal has mental problems. Ann Ben was Mark s Best Friend for 11 years and i Don think his behaviour is unusual. Is my father being too critical or could Mark really have a problem should Ibe concerned Ruckersville a. Dearva your father has probably never had a pet and does not understand Mark s Strong emotional attachment to Ben. Mark s response to the death of his Best Friend and his lingering sadness Are not abnormal. Sometimes it takes months to get Over the grief.
