SELF-CONSCIOUS

I spent most of the afternoon at the doctor's office with my fiancee. He's been really concerned and self-conscious about his appearance lately and he wanted to hear all the options he has regarding hair loss treatment plans. I told him I'd be happy to offer my support and help him pick out the best choice. I think he was surprised I wanted to go with him. He shouldn't be. I love him and the way I look at it is this is what the married life is going to be like. I'm sure there will be many more doctors' visits to come. I've been taking every chance I can to share these everyday experiences with him, no matter how mundane he thinks they are, because this is how I'm going to know for sure if he's the right person for me. I think what also surprised him is that, in terms of appearance, I told him none of this really mattered to me. He's a really good looking guy, with or without hair, but that's not what attracted me. I think he was so used to dating girls who were only interested in him because he was handsome and most of them didn't look deeper than that. Definitely going through these challenging times together has made us even closer.
