What Has Your Spouse Done That You Cherish The Most?

A gathering of cherished recollections is not as humbling because of the nature of that revelation, to squeal something devoid of the supremacy of being able to experience that attention from a man, esp. in a forum filled with despair and apathy. It is a small curvy difference between a smile and a smirk. However, cheerful threads like this substantiate and complement the other side of the story. A venue of the less celebrated.

Chochweet! The balti full circle is endearing! I hope you saved the stool as a keepsake of those nayi naveli aur saab days.

The human brain is funny! Effortlessly invokes the aberrations and lapses, of the one time, the misplaced instance, the wayward misstep, such discrepancies etched for snap recall. But the countless times the man has been charming is lost till a thread like that of Laks extorts these entombed memories.

Main bahut doolally aur nakchadi types ki hum, more important for someone like me to highlight the experienced goodness in the everyday busyness.

Ditto about Rihana's writing.

One could have the passion, talent or the competency to narrate. Over this, she has the flair to recount with ambient tilt and incidental music. Even if one surpasses in the former qualities, it is her distinctive flair which catapults her as the most endearing in balti anecdotes.

 

my H is one of those military disciplined guys , less words but actions. this pandemic has not been easy . so much housework, i got a whole new respect to women who are only home makers. we stopped ordering food, even cook stopped coming. oh my god so much work .

office, that is whole new level. all of a sudden my office starting thinking, i am free. i was pulled in work and meetings from 8.30 am to 6.00 pm non stop.

i broke down on the 2nd day. breakfast to son, cook, then feed at lunch and then milk and fruits at 5. then dinner. it is not he was not helping with dishes but work and this literally broke me and i was crying .

he saw after 2 days and said 2 things. take care of son when he is playing IPAD during school and also remind him to finish his school work in google classroom before 3.00 pm . because if he does he will beat him up .

every day for last 8 months, he wakes up morning - gets our son ready bath , feed breakfast and gets him ready to school by 9.0 am . during school, he will check his google classroom notes and if home work is there. ask me to follow. then he will go to work. his work is more stressful than mine. Daughter is in high school , her lunch time is 12.00 pm. he will put the rice get that ready before that. she will come and eat. Sharp 1.00 pm , son lunch will be fed. evening 4;00 both kids will have milk and fruits ready. I am like a kid here who just comes eat food and go.

then he asked me take a break from 6 to 7. i never had friends in apartment as i was traveling and come home and settle, during this time i made very good friends, . during that time, he will cut the vegetables. make rasam or sambar. after some days, when i could handle so much stress , i would push him out and some days do cooking all myself too. but it was huge help because it is such a montonous task. i will make the vegetables for next day. he does not know only that . from 7.30 to 9 pm. is his time , he and his friend go workout and run. . i was suspicious and thought he is fooling with some other lady and confirmed too. . he and his friend got some serious weight equipment and used to work in open park.

then night dishes will be done. my job is too settle the kids.

weekend all clothes will be washed and sabzi mandi will be done by him. he will not do any cooking or cutting on weekends and relax and study or work with kids. except Sunday night, as the clocks starts again for coming week

Infact i wont let him.

he is more busy than me, more advanced code and architecture, somehow he handles this easily .

he may not be the sweetest talker or what i read, women say , he makes me smile . but he will follow his ethics to make my life so simple and stress free. that is more than enough for me.

 

Aw @Rihana what a nice, fun story.

It reminded me of a somewhat similar incident. This was my husband’s (then fiancé) first visit to my parents’ house in India (also his first India trip and for that matter first to a developing country). My parents had everything ready (working shower, toilet paper etc.) to provide him full comfort in their upstairs one bedroom portion. My mom made sure to get new towels for him too (just towels no wash cloth). However, my parents like using cotton Khadi towels which aren’t fluffy like the regular towels. My husband didn’t say anything, he used whatever he was given.

A year later, my parents visited us in the USA. In addition to the presents he surprised them with, he also bought 4 nice sets of towels (with washcloths) for them to take home. I was puzzled, why towels? And then he told me that the towels they had were itchy and thin so next time we visit, hopefully he will have one of his sets.
Now my mom buys the best, fluffiest towels for him and my kids .

 

And sorry @Rihana, I meant to quote the shower story!

 

No other guy can tolerate a person like me with so much mood swings.My hubby has immense patience and still loves me the same way he did a decade and half back.That itself is commendable.
