Sometimes the dread in telling is worse that the actual telling.

I can see why you would have problems bringing up this bike with your husband having so many problems at the moment.

It's a tough situation for the both of you. It does sound as if he could use some grief counseling, but everyone has their own way of dealing with grief.

I know my husband would not want me to be unhappy because of a grief on his part, but my husband is very, very understanding.

At least you no longer have a secret, and that's good.

Good luck to both of you.
