Confession.
In all the things I’ve blogged about over the years, I’ve never really talked about my relationship with Trig aside from superficial comments here and there. I feel like our marriage is our private business and I have no need to share it with the world.
But… As I was making the bed this morning I was laughing at how ridiculous I am with our pillows. I need to confess.
I received this amazing TEMPUR-PEDIC pillow years ago from the company, and I immediately fell in love with it. I sleep with it every night, and if Trig accidentally takes it, leaving me his pillow, I make him switch back. It’s MY fancy pillow and I need it. When I make the bed I even make sure to put my pillow on my side so that there is no chance that he will get it by mistake. One day he smiled at me with this giant goofy smile and thanked me for letting him use my pillow. I quickly corrected him and told him it was a mistake and took my pillow back. Isn’t that so selfish? I rationalize it by saying that he sleeps with two pillows and I only sleep with one so I need MY pillow. Not nice.
And in true confession…
I took a giant swig of his smoothie last night before delivering it to him.
Sometimes I leave things where they are instead of putting them away just to see how long it takes before he notices.
When he leaves his wedding ring in dangerous places (near the sink, low to the floor where Raffi can reach it, on a random tray in the living room) I often hide it for a few hours so Trig panics that he lost it. I keep thinking it will teach him to put his ring on the ring tray we have, but it hasn’t happened yet.
Oh, and I steal his socks just because I like them more.
Make me feel better on this hot Thursday by sharing your confessions.
That’s the sweet insight into a good marriage 🙂 It sounds a lot like David and me!
Hm, I guess I could confess to always putting my cold feet on him at night, but if she tried to do that to me, I FLIP. Haha. Double standard.
LOL. Chris lost his wedding ring and we have yet to replace it. When we do I am SO hiding it.
When I find my husband’s ring, I always make him put it back on and I go up to him and say “Evan take this ring…”
cute! Shortly after we got married, I noticed my husband fidgeting with his ring all the time…spinning it on tabletops, rolling it on his knuckles, etc. Every time it fell on the ground and rolled away, I would make some crazy comment about him buying me something if it ever got lost. Now we are both in agreement that if he ever loses it, he owes me a piece of jewelry that costs equal to (or more than) the cost of his replacement! 🙂
And, messing with him about stupid things is my favorite pastime. 🙂
Random, but I’ve been thinking about potty training my daughter (18 mos) and everyone keeps telling me she’s too young. But, I know she’s capable. The one draw back is that she can’t really pull her pants up and down on her own…although, I think with practice, she could. Did raffi struggle with getting himself dressed/undressed?
Thanks!
I have chocolate hidden all over our house so my husband won’t eat it at night, which he’s known to do. But I bought the chocolate with our weekly grocery money, and not from my own personal spending. I feel bad…but not really.
Stacey,
I could have written this comment. It’s so me 🙂
We bought my husband’s wedding ring on eBay for $36, because we both KNEW he would lose it. Two years later, when he still hadn’t, we got him a new, nicer one 🙂 Wife of the year award ha!
confession: my BF had this cologne and 2 shirts i HATE, so i hid them and bought him new shirts and new cologne that i like instead :-p
Bahahaha! I love this post. I don’t have any fancy pillows (but now I want some!), but I still have “my” pillow and it’s the same in our house. Don’t you steal my pillow! I tell my husband not to use a fork when frying bacon… and when he’s not looking, I use a fork to flip the bacon myself haha. Such a hypocrite!! Also, I do the leaving things where they are and not putting them away too every now and then… and I just end up more mad than I was in the first place because it just stays out for DAYS until I say something or get rid of it lol.
We both figured my husband would lose his ring/not take care of it so we bought one off Amazon for $67 and he has yet to lose or damage it and he is really good about putting it in his ring tray thing by his side of the bed!
Confessions: I rarely take out the trash because he will always do it if it gets bad enough.
I fought for a bigger yard when house hunting saying I would do all the mowing, etc. for the yard and 1.5 years later I have yet to mow the lawn….
And I secretly enjoy the fact that our dog definitely prefers me more 🙂
I have a thing with pillows too! I always put my pillows on my side of the bed and need to make sure that they are never switched with my husband’s !
That is totally cute. That is the best relationship , I can say. We have special fancy pills as well and we always make sure that we have the right once. 🙂
