What if..?What if? What if I hadn’t left, hadn’t decided I couldn’t live my life with unnecessary guilt? If I’d chosen between myself and him, but instead chosen him and stayed, regardless of the suffering? Would it have been worth it, been different? What would my life have been like if it would still have been with him

Here's a better one - what if you'd just let the bypass happen, like I wanted?

[stacywarneresq]

You could have died. We've talked about this.

[dr_greghouse_md]

Yeah. It's a subject I never get tired of.

[stacywarneresq]

I can tell. You sure bring it up enough.

[dr_greghouse_md]

Just in case you forget. You know.

[stacywarneresq]

Because I have this habit of forgetting things. Right, Greg.

[dr_greghouse_md]

You're less likely to forget if I keep on reminding you.

[stacywarneresq]

It isn't something I'll forget.

[dr_greghouse_md]

What's the point in feeling guilty if there's no one there to help you endure it?

[stacywarneresq]

And you're telling me you want to help me?

[dr_greghouse_md]

When did I say that?

[stacywarneresq]

Ah, so that's how you're going to play it. My mistake.

[dr_greghouse_md]

Help and help are two different things.

[stacywarneresq]

Right, I have to remember how you think.

[dr_greghouse_md]

You mean you've forgotten already?

See? Another reason why I need to keep reminding you.

[stacywarneresq]

There are some things you don't forget, Greg.
