Souse Rants
Okay I want to start off this posting topic by saying that
not all of the posts labled spouse rants will be positive or negative because
if they were either we’d be lying or we should seriously consider divorce. :)
Yes in any relationship there are ups and downs, like a
roller coaster. You can’t feel the high unless you’ve felt the low. It is also
important to note that highs and lows can happen for any particular amount of
time. As my counterpart said, marriage is funny. I’ve heard from people who’ve
been married for long periods of time that not all years are easy. Luckily we’ve
had GREAT years just a few bad days/weeks. I’m truly married to the most
wonderful man, for me. He’s not for everybody as I’m not either but I love him
with all my heart and that is what matters.
We’ll start off with a bit of background information. We’ve been married for just over 5 years and
together just over 6. We went through a rough patch right after we got married
and it only made us stronger. We still constantly work on our communication or
my lack of wanting to hurt his feelings and bottling it up until it explodes.
Yes I’m one of those. But I’m recovering and working on discussing issues right
away.
Currently we’re in the process of buying a house. It is a
very exciting/scary/wonderful/ frustrating process. This will be our first
house and we’ve, or I’ve as I chose everyone we’re working with, had some
issues with the realtor and lender. Yes it is amazing how incompetent professionals
can be.
Back to marriage and partnership. I want to express how
amazing my husband is but even he can drive me mad. I also want to insert this
is coming from my point of view so YES I’m sure I drive him mad, too:) Just in case
you read this, honey:) (not likely). Anyway here’s an example of my wonderful
husband.
Okay this is a positive post because we’re in a positive
moment.
So yeah last night when he got home I made dinner and went
out to mow our yard/paddock in an attempt to get the place ready for my mom to
come on Friday. Who knew it was bad if the mower smoked… Okay Yes I’m not an
idiot and know it’s not ideal but was really trying to get the mowing done
quickly so that we could get it all done before the next rain/impeding arrival
of my mom and her horses. While mowing the paddock the mower kept clogging up
so I had to start and stop it a few times and long story short fried the belt
that makes the blades turn. Yes a mower with no turning blades doesn’t serve
much purpose. Knowing I’d messed up I headed inside. Nonchalantly I asked my
husband to please put the belt back on as it had “somehow” come off.
Skeptically he agreed and headed outside. After I’d scrubbed my hands for ages
I hesitantly looked outside to assess the situation. Yes I had indeed fried it!
Did he yell or get frustrated? NO! He just said next time you see smoking you
might want to not turn it on again and clean it out pronto. Yes I love him!
