When I become a wife, one of my greatest priorities will be to create a home my man can't wait to return to a place where he feels deeply respected, loved, valued and completely at peace.
My wife stopped saying "thank you" when I did the dishes.
I noticed.
I was offended.
"I'm helping," I thought. "Where's the gratitude?"
One night I said it out loud.
"I did the dishes. Again."
She looked at me like I'd asked for a medal.
"You live here too."
That's when it hit me.
I wasn't "helping."
I was living in my own house and acting like a guest who occasionally tidied up.
She didn't need help.
She needed a partner who stopped waiting to be thanked for what he should've been doing anyway.
Your wife doesn't need a helper.
She needs a man who stops keeping score.
as a hyper independent girly (to a fault) i do not like asking for shit it makes me uncomfortable. that's why i like men who just DO. don't ask, just figure out what i need/want and DO IT
She was shocked and asked how I knew Abdul. I told her, “We work together.” She quickly said there’s nothing between them, that they’re just friends. Then I asked, “Remember on Friday around 3:00 when Abdul called you and you answered with ‘Hey baby’?” She froze.
That’s when I told her, “Well, I was the one who called.” She started crying crocodile tears, and I kept asking her why she was cheating on me when I’ve always played my role 100% as a boyfriend. She said the reason she’s seeing someone else is because I’m boring. 💔
