Just because

I have a question.
Do you ever find yourself getting really pissed off?
Your husband didn’t take out the trash.
Or he left his dirty socks laying around.
Or he didn’t make the bed for the millionth day in a row.

Oh boy, most of the fighting in this house hold consists me doing the yelling.
And I’m mostly yelling about chores that aren’t getting done.
That’s probably too much personal information to give away on le blog, but I want to keep things real.
I ask you this question because I got to thinking.
I have absolutely no qualms about pointing out to Mr. Husband all of the things about him that piss me off.
Especially when I’m mad.
Mr. Husband and I, I like to think, have a fairly normal relationship.
We love each other no matter what.
We fight, but we also really enjoy our time together.
We tell each other daily “I love you,” and we still know how to be silly together.
But despite all of that, I wondered how often I actually share with him what I love about him.
Because, like I said, I never hold back telling him when he’s pissing me off.
So I wrote him an email.
I don’t know when he’ll check it.  
But when he does, I hope it brightens his day.
And I hope he remembers, even when I’m acting crazy, all the things I love so much about him.
For no reason at all.
So maybe I can challenge you to do the same?

  3. Aww 🙂 This was super sweet. I am guilty of the same thing – criticism comes easier to me than praise. I hope he smiles at your e-mail!
