Romantic Gestures of a Married Man

my how things have changed

Published on November 18, 2003 By JillUser In Blogging

Once you have been married a decade or so, you start to show your love in new ways. Sad thing is, your wife appreciates it!

Examples:

Then- Cook dinner for your love
Now- Eat at work and not ask her to cook for you at 9PM

Then- Dinner at a fancy restaurant
Now- Put your plate next to the sink (rather than leaving on the table) after dinner

Then- Write her a poem
Now- Leave her a note that your Mom called (rather than forgetting)

Then- Dress up for a date
Now- Put dirty clothes in hamper (rather than leaving them wherever you disrobed)

Then- Tell her how beautiful she is
Now- Stop telling her how fat her ass is getting

As long as your expectations change as you go, you stay just as happy and in love

Honey, if you are reading this, I am just making fun. I am in a goofy mood tonight. Not trying to bust your chops. You are the perfect man for me (although you could do the clothes in the hamper thing a little more often )

I try to bathe nearly EVERY day. That's how I show my love.

How funny. I think you and I are on the same wavelength. However, a nice dinner out now and again couldn't hurt..and if he mentions the size of my ass, he'll be eating out of a paper bag!!!!

showering nearly every day is a bonus to a wife in my eyes.

so is this what to expect from getting married? I can't wait!!!

Then: Decorating a cake for your birthday
Now: remembering your birthday

Then: Taking a stroll together
Now: bringing the car around so you don't have to walk

Then: taking you to a movie
Now: letting you have the remote

Then: Breakfast in bed
Now: cleaning up after breakfast

I can't complain about my hubby, though. He does a lot of housework. I also say that we are "do it yourself" kind of people. What I typically mean is that I find things for him to do.

This reminds me of the time I was caught smoking by my dad, he forced me to smoke a pack of Chesterfiald non-filter until I turned green and vomited.

If you already think showering is a bonus, good luck finding a wife

My wife didn't seem to mind if I bathed or not before we got married. When we met, I looked like ET when he was dying. Now, as long as I make sure my hair is free of eggs and other gunk it's all good.

"When we met, I looked like ET when he was dying." - LOL

I recently exited a 2.5 year relationship. With hindsight I see that I was less and less hygienic as time went by. Now that there is a new woman in my life, I'm shaving every day, and making sure my clothes match before I go out.

What's this dinner at a fancy resturant thing? Do people still do that?!

Clothes in hamper? Care for their own feeding habits?!?! ... I don't forsee that happening with my husband and I, but on the bright side we're going on a second honeymoon to Disney Land with our kids next summer, isn't that dandy? So romantic.

That's so typical- the comfort level isn't there yet so you have to struggle to impress the new girl. It's kind of odd how it works out, because if you end up seeing your ex while out with your new girl she'll be upset wondering what it was about her that made you not want to look clean.....at least on a subconcious level...

LOL that is so true. My wife and I have been married 11 years and today the whole thing is completely different. We went through the fighting and near divorce stage and she rode this ole horse (me) until it broke. Now we have a beautiful relationship with a nice dose of give and take. Only my wife is the slob who I try and get to put the clothes in the hamper LOL
