It hurts a little more when it's your spouse who asks:

Why do you have to be like that?

I don't know that it's a matter of "have to." But it was my decision, didn't have to affect yours, and you should know by know that it's how I am. I am not going to do things I don't believe in just because someone says to.

(This is related to our parish falling into our society's habit of rolling every military observance into Memorial Day. It isn't Veteran's Day, or A Loved One Survived Deployment Day. It's the one day of the year set aside to remember the heroes who purchased our freedom with their very lives and to mourn with those they've left behind. And I suppose it is always a good idea to pray for those who are currently in harm's way.)
