The Skeptical Husband

Like most guys, my husband thinks this oil stuff is a bunch of bull. I can't say that he is happy about spending money on this stuff but he knows it is important to me so he isn't putting up much of a fight. After the first night of diffusing lavender in our room, he woke up feeling stuffed up. Of course he blamed the lavender. So last night, our second night with the diffuser, I moved it away from his side of the bed but still diffused lavender. Before bed, I put RC oil on the bottom of his feet and brought him Breathe Again (from Angela) to roll on his chest but of course he didn't try it. I think I will have to pin him down to get him to try some of this stuff. I called him today to see if he woke up stuffed up today and he reluctantly answered "no." It is clear he doesn't want to admit that any of this oil stuff makes a difference.

So here is my plan of attack: One way he will buy in is if he sees some success for things that matter to him. He has a skin thing on his shoulders and back that is very hard to get rid of. He has tried prescription and over-the-counter meds for it. It is a fungal thing and covers a large area. There is a medical name for it but I can't remember what it is. It doesn't hurt or itch, it is just the appearance of it that bothers him. I am going to offer to put Frankincense on it daily and see what happens. I will let you know how it goes.

Another way he might buy in is if oils increase sexy time. I'm going to research oils that set the "mood" and all that good stuff. Maybe I can get him to give me a massage while using an oil and I will return the favor. He knows massages are a gateway to getting in my pants so it just might work.

At the end of the day it is Happy Wife, Happy Life, so really as long as I'm happy, I think he will continue to at least not object to oils in our home.
