@Carl Ronny Birkeland a bit of work in post processing to remove the white background distractions would help.

Maybe I can offer something in terms of advice and understanding, as someone who's been there. 11 years ago I was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer, with an estimated less than 50% chance of surviving 5 years. I'm not going into detail but yes it's a tough journey, physically and mentally. So don't beat yourself up about how you feel. You're allowed to feel upset, depressed, angry or whatever you feel. Whilst I was recovering, my wife was diagnosed with cancer. I found her cancer harder to deal with than my own. She has also survived. Here comes the advice: A lot of people will say dumb things, like "stay positive". They mean well but they just don't understand. Being positive, wont have any effect on the outcome of your illness, so feel how you want to feel. There is a thing called, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I used this. I took me from a very dark place. I ended up running courses, (as a volunteer) on ACT for a large cancer charity, for cancer patients and their families too. In Wales ACT is available free to everyone now, online. I'm sure you would be able to find a version online somewhere. I hope my words are of some help or comfort. My life now is totally different to the one lived before cancer but I feel happy, probably happier now, despite the legacy of cancer. Final words. Take care of your mental health, leave the cancer to the doctors to deal with, but keep involved and keep making decisions.

@Alex Kilpatrick excellent words.

Shoes, a nice pair of brogues will serve you well. When summer comes add chinos and loafers.

I've been married for 44 years and wife wouldn't even make a request like that, even for our own son. She needs to understand and most Importantly respect you, your decisions and what's important to you. Once you declined, she should have accepted that, but to still expect it, even after you've explained is not right. If she escalates the request, you will need to reconsider the relationship, because, in my opinion, it means it's not about the watch.
