14 Years of Experience
Getting the job is the easy part.
Today is BW’s 14th anniversary of being married to me and during that time I have learned a few things I would like to share. Perhaps they will be of use for other husbands - tidy or otherwise:
BW is the boss of me. Just like the wedding itself - it’s not about the groom - it’s about the bride. As if this would magically change to be about you after the wedding.
Most of the shit to fight about really isn’t worth getting worked up about. I’m not saying we’’re perfect and we’ve had a few moments, but we’re still here together and at the end of the day that’s all that matters.
When BW says “I’ve got this”, this means she does not have this in any way, shape or form. I have been bamboozled so, so many times about this and yet I still fall for it every time.
She makes a mean salad.
BW is smarter than me. Also, see number 1 above.
You will come home one day and you will be told the dishwasher is broken. That is all the information you will be given. Your job is to troubleshoot the best you can. Good luck.
The facial creams. OMG I didn’t know they made that many.
You can never have enough blankets or socks in the house.
Don’t start delivering coffee in bed. This will become a trend and tradition. The only way you will get coffee in bed is if you are close to death. This is a one-way trip in her favor.
BW told me when we married that she was a package deal - her and her dog. I agreed to the original terms and conditions but nobody said anything about another dog - but here we are.
Make sure one of you in the relationship is good with filling out forms. There will be forms - lots of forms.
Family hugs in the kitchen are pretty cool.
Make sure you’re compatible with your mother-in-law. This is important. More than you would think.
I can’t imagine life without BW.
Happy anniversary, BW.
Love TH.
XOXO
Happy Anniversary, you've learned well 😉
