So ...
I’ve been married a year and still have no clue what I’m doing. Am I good wife, how the hell do I find that out? Not to sound stupid but I have asked my husband this exact question and for lack of anything else to say, or to avoid conflict; he simply smiles and says that I am doing fine. That I’m a great wife and he couldn’t ask for anyone better. But, then there is the ever present list of things that he wouldn’t mind having revamped. For example:
1. I could stand to lose a little weight. To this I simply think sure I have tacked on a few spare pounds, you know saving up for the winter or trying get a girlish more rounded figure. It’s not that I’m unwilling to lose any weight, I am trying if you could include sweeping the entire house with a broom as opposed to a vacuum (it builds muscles!). I am aware of the fact that when we started dating I was a mere twig of a girl and lets just say I’m no longer a twig but maybe a trunk ... no wise cracks please ... But who has the time to workout when you are constantly cleaning, cooking, decorating, washing, and working? I know it may seem like I’m complaining (it’s because I’m complaining), but cut me a little slack here.
2. I could dress up a little more. Thanks, that’s a great way of saying you look like a slob. I mean come on help me out here a little one day I’m fat the next I’m a slob (Are we noticing a trend here?). Now I am aware of the fact that I probably could look a little bit more refined but why am I getting all dressed up with nowhere to go? For me it makes no sense to get all gussied up and I’m just sitting at home doing nothing.
There are plenty more things on the list-o-change that I should be bring up but for lack of time I figured these would do for now. I know I’m not alone here, so what do you tell your man who says he thinks the world of you and wouldn’t want to change a hair on your head, but now wouldn’t mind changing every hair on your head?
