Love, sweet love
I have to explain that as much as I complain about my BF, I am one damn lucky girl. I hope my complaints are normal and minor, cause he is the best boyfriend I have ever had. Coming up on our 4 year anniversary and I asked him if he was gonna get me something and he was like....Prolly, and I was like...Oh, good...Thinking...cause you better. *grin*. He could see it across my face too, he was like...Cause I better, huh?
It's really a good thing that he doesn't take offense to my little petty bitches. We went back and forth (fairly good-naturedly) about my music on Friday night. I don't think anyone was actually upset by it. It works for us.
When people ask me what he does, I get all uptight and I am like, well, he used to go to school and now he watches my kid for me....my kid, not his. I always wonder if they think he is a slacker. Sure, he admits it, he doesn't like working. I don't really like working either, so I can't blame him. However, if I was with the kid everyday, I don't think I would handle it as well as he does. I joke about my having a wife, and he rocks so much, that he doesn't take offense or get all worried about defending his man-hood. Or whatever you want to call it.
I've decided that I am sick to death of worrying about what other people think about my relationship. He isn't using me. I don't give him money for watching my child. I buy the food and he cooks it. He is so damn helpful and I consider myself extremely lucky most days. Sure, he still has his moments and I am sure I do too.
It didn't always work this way. I used to be worried about asking him to do anything for me, but he does a lot without ever grumbling. I used to try and do everything and it was too much. I am not ever sure that I even really talked to him about how thinly-stretched I was getting, but he picked up on it. It has really turned around since he has been watching the kid after school. He washes dishes, does laundry and more often than not, has dinner waiting for me when I get home.
What more can a girl ask for?
