What a woman truly needs . . .

[Guest]

My man had to work late last evening and it was just me and the kids. I'm so tired by Friday night, but we did popcorn, movies, ate Halloween candy, they bounced merrily off the walls, wore my ass out (I'm still in an air boot with a broken leg). I finally got them to sleep, did some housework, kicked back with a drink and collapsed on the couch. He got home several hours after that.

But this morning? When the kids woke up early, he took them with him to go have breakfast and play and watch TV. I barely heard them giggle as I slept in for two more hours, happily snuggled in warm comforters and purring kitties. Delicious.

I think I should marry this man! (Oh wait, I already did) OK - at the least, I should certainly fuck his brains out tonight!

Anyone else want to share a wonderful man story?

Nearly every morning and every afternoon he drives 26 miles to the college and then drives 26 miles back home for me. Never once has he complained about having to chauffer me around.

When I was living in Chicago with my husband, and came back to Nebraska for my brother's graduation (it was the first time we had spent more than 8 hours apart in the last two years) I kept having nightmares and couldn't sleep. The nightmares are nothing new, but my husband is always there to pat my hand until I go back to sleep.

He stayed on the phone with me for two hours one night until I fell asleep, whispering "I love you" over and over.

My second wife never washed a dish - I did them all. By hand.

She never said, "thank you," either. Not once.

Please thank your man, every time you think of it. And make it a point to think of it often.

Dare I talk to hans?

Yes, nightmares. I have at least two a night.

I showed my husband this thread - he was embarrassed (but pleased)!

I don't think it should be a "thank you" kind of thing, however. There should be give and take in a successful relationship, but you support and help and work with each other always.

In our life, one of us takes over when the other's workload is excessive, and then we trade off (if we're both swamped - we're in big trouble!) LOL

 

[KillerMuffin]

There's a point, though, when it can become more of a taking someone for granted kind of thing. While thanks aren't always necessary, I do think it's important that we don't take our spouses for granted or set up expectations that they should do certain things. Like the dishes example.

A little appreciation goes a long way.

You probably don't have that problem, but every once in a while it tends to creep up in a marriage.


I don't thank you, but I do let him know how much I appreciate him for what he does and who he is.

I've just had some messed up things happen to me. Rather not talk about them.

I'm glad he was pleased - he should be, IMO.

That woman could always find something to fuss about. The whole thing was a complete flop, save for my son. He reports that she's driving her new hubby nuts, too. She expects others to make her happy.

I've always thought the communal approach to running a household was best - needs and abilities. There has to be negotiation - no one is always right, or wrong.

Being aware of each other is the trick, tho'.

Thank You!!

 

[mbb308]

Thank You!!

Tell your fella.

I'm just words on the screen.

 

[mbb308]

come on...sit on Hanns' lap and tell him allllll about it

So you can start a thread about her?

 

[MissVictoria]

I think I'll pass, Hanns. I know better than to talk about things that truly could upset me on this board. You can only give so much of yourself to this medium... well, and keep any level of sanity. *chuckle*

LOL
i am fellaless.

 

[estevie]

Huh, I don't have one. Mine doesn't know the name of the place I work even though I talk aobut it every night when I get home. Mine won't get his ass out of bed to take the baby to daycare when I'm sick and its cold and raining out. He doesn't do much of anything nice for me these days.

But then again, you get what you give.

 

[mbb308]

LOL

I am womanless.

BTW, I did the 2AM feedings, too.

Kudoes to me? No - you get no praise for doing what you should.

Yes - I certainly agree. People should never be taken for granted.

The thank you thing seemed to me that the husband felt he was owed thanks just for doing typical every day stuff that many wives do all the time. But mbb308, I don't know your situation - everyone is different, every relationship is different.

I do know that people should appreciate what they've got!!
