It's okay to feel bad: it sounds like you're really busy, dealing with IBS, and missing your husband. Sometimes you've just gotta vent and let it out, rather than be alone with those feelings and dwell on them. I've been there and venting always relieves some of that stress! So don't be sorry!
I'm sure your husband was more excited to see his old buddies than his ex-girlfriends. I totally understand about that 5%, though, feeling like your partner would be better off with someone without our problems--I feel like that sometimes too. However, it's important to remember that IBS DOES NOT define who we are! IBS is a part of our lives, but it's something to be managed and dealt with, not something to be blamed for or judged on. And we are with our partners because of WHO we are, our interests/personalities/values. It sounds like your husband loves you a lot; to have someone you love calling you twice a day and be so loving and understanding must mean that you're a pretty special person yourself.
Alyson, I'm really impressed by how much of this post is about the good things in your life. You have such a sweet family and a wonderful husband! I hope your day gets better, and I agree that fishing and camping is a good way to relax!
Take care,
