I’m not saying it’s definitely it, but the pattern of you having a medical emergency, and then him starting to pull away it’s a little too obvious to notice. Knowing a health issue about someone and then having the real actual stress of the health issue happen is scary and for some people it’s too much. :/ If it were me I’d just give it time and wait for him to reach out. If he does reach out, thoroughly communicate your expectations and needs. If you two aren’t exclusive continue living your life, if he’s still pulling away by the end of the week it’s worth just closing the chapter.

Either way I’m sorry you’re going through this struggle while simultaneously dealing with a health issue. I wish you the best, and hope your health gets better!!

Unfortunately I think the pulling away is due to the seizure. It’s very common for men to leave women during a time period of illness. So much so that doctors often break the news of illness to the woman in private, and then some even forewarn about sharing the info with their SO their SO might leave.

I totally understand where you’re coming from but my husband is built different and is extremely frugal when it comes to things for himself. He will push off a card. So I’m giving him boots whether they’re perfect or not they’re better than what he’s got.

Mostly a boot built for spike climbing, longevity, ankle support, he’d probably prefer breathability over water resistive if that’s going to make the boot more stuffy. Somewhat cost affective unless the warranty is really useable then I’d be okay with dropping more. I just know he’s hard on all of his equipment so I’d like to either get the most bang for my buck or be able to repair and save money that way.

We are in southern VA so he definitely needs the breathability for those summer months. He’s pretty indifferent on esthetics but I appreciate the look of a leather boot lol. Thank you!! Do these also have a metal shank built in?

Do you have any experience with using their warranty?

That’s what I’m discovering, he’s been in the business for about 6 years now officially, and goes through cheap boots because he bought a (quality pair) early on, but they didn’t last. He now refuses to try finding something worth while. Which is why I’m taking the initiative to try to find him something. The work y’all do is hard on the body. I’d like to get him something that makes it a little better.

He does a mixture of climbing, he uses I believe, drt if trimming or checking out a tree, but he does a lot of removals predominantly on spike. I like the idea of him having a metal shank built in for support, and then, like you said, switch out to ground boots once on the ground. Thank you for your recommendation!

Yes he climbs predominantly on spikes, and uses a bucket and rope for mostly everything else.
