Massive stress or Massive Love ?

Yesterday was our Parish's Total family religious education session for the month. I almost forgot about it as time is just moving way too fast and I was thinking that I still had a week or two.
This year since Cindy can only work weekends, due to her heavy school schedule, she is working during these meetings. In the past our family has attended the one PM to three thirty PM class but this year we have been attending the four thirty PM to seven PM one so that we can have an early lunch as a family before Cindy has to be at work .
This later class works out well as there are way less people, making it a more intimate discussion group for the adults, plus many of Mike and My friends also attend this session.
Yesterday, though I was thrown for a loop when the Priest announced that they were splitting the adult group into a men's group and a woman's group and each would discuss the topic of prayer. Many seemed to love the idea but I hated it. Maybe it upset me so much because we just found out about Mike's bulging disc and probable upcoming surgery and I have been worrying about his future and even the possibility of losing him. Because of this having him "taken away" when we are used to this class being " our time" did not set well with me. Possibly, my reaction would have also been better if friends of mine, had been present. This just happened to be a weekend where those women whom I usually talk to were out of town and their husbands brought their kids alone.Either way, I honestly hated this arrangement but had no choice so I offered it up and pressed on. Sure enough it all ended and I survived but it leaves me wondering...
Mike and I have been married for almost twenty years now. This is many years longer than most of our friends and acquaintances. Within this time there has only been once that I have not seen him in a twenty four hour period. This occasion was one that Cindy and I went to Women of faith with a group of women from our parish. We left on Friday and were back Saturday night. This was a great opportunity for Cindy and I and so many women rave about how they just love this conference but I honestly missed Mike so much that , though the conference was great, I really don't think I will go again any time soon.
I wonder, why am I so attached. I don't know of any other women who share my feelings on this one. As a matter of fact most women whom I know prefer separate vacations and weekend's away from their families. I really don't understand this. Am I the odd one ? Have times just changed ? All I know is that since I am so stressed out that being separated for an hour at church, upsets me, maybe I should call and make an appointment for a spa massage. Of course I will have to do it for when Mike is at work.Otherwise I will miss him and defeat my whole purpose of going. Gee, I think I am nuts ! Does anyone know if a couple can share a padded room at the mental hospital ? Oh well that may just be too much to ask of Mike's love for me anyway !
