I love him dearly, but his extreme slowness still gets on my nerves, even almost 25 years into knowing him. By slowness I don't mean lack of smarts. He's very smart. But if only I could build a huge fire under his backside, I would. Or maybe he'd still be so slow-moving that he'd burn up. I know this may seem unfair of me, but what happens is that in order to achieve certain things in X amount of time, I often find myself taking on more than I should, to compensate. I have a history of doing this, and inevitably it often hurts me over time. The tendency is partly related to my personality, and partly past mood elevation.

I also get annoyed at his boohooing so much. For example, he'll cry over a little scratch, while I say very little when I get a gash.
I hope you feel better.

I know what you mean about the exaggeration over a small injury. My mom almost has this like meltdown when she bumps her hand or her knee and she just makes a big deal out it. Meanwhile I bump into stuff hard all the time and I don’t even say anything. I tell myself that everyone has different reactions to pain and some people are more sensitive. Doesn’t make it any less irritating though.
