[blparent] "Just trust me"

[Robert Shelton]

Yes, very good advice.  Another suggestion: "Trust me to do what?  I have no
idea what you want me to do, and if you don't tell me, then I might not do
what you want."  I have the exact same issue with my wife of almost 43 years
who I adore.  Some of it is laziness, some of it is that the light-dependent
folks are not used to explaining things to us.  Most of the time, we
accommodate them by making good guesses, but when there is a potential for
injury or damage, guessing is not a good policy.  You can have this
discussion with your husband in a non-threatening context. Just say
Sometimes I need you to be a bit more specific when I can't see what you
need me to do.  If you can put it into words, then I'll try to help.

Good luck.

Hi. I think that is the issue; you need to explain exactly why you need more
information to your husband and explain that it's not that you don't trust
him, but that your distance vision is getting worse. You can't see what's
going on and need and want to know exactly what's happening. Your trust in
him is not the issue; your need for concrete information is. Hope this
helps.
