Can a Husband and Wife Exist in the Same House Day After Day? via LaurieJStone
It’s happened. My husband Randy now works from home. And I’m glad, truly. He deserves an easier life, having spent the past thirty-five years zooming around the globe on business trips. But now he’s here a lot–everyday. And it’s not bad. It’s just…well, different. In fact, here are the pros and cons for having a husband around most of the time…— I’m lucky. I love my husband. He’s my best friend. If I have a funny story or problem, he’s the first person I go to.
To my husband’s credit, he’s adapted, learning the ins and outs of making a grilled cheese sandwich. He even adds ham and tomato, a creative touch that brought much applause to the culinary-challenged Stone household.Slowly I’m smartening up. I’m learning there are certain things I can delegate to Randy, like going to Home Depot for light bulbs. For some reason, he loves that. He’ll also go to the most popular supermarket at odd, crowded times. I wouldn’t go if you promised me free chocolate.
Randy also loves online shopping. I give him strange missions like cat carriers, bathroom mold remover, or exotic furniture polish. He throws himself into it with the zeal of an African missionary. .Sometimes my husband will look around and say out of the blue, “I love this place.” I stop a moment, feeling proud. Of all the glamorous spots on the planet, he still prefers our warm, Connecticut abode. I put aside all the small things that make this transition challenging.
And somehow it all seems fitting. After working so hard and for so long, my husband’s come back to the one place he most desires and deserves.Do you have a similar situation? Comments are always welcome and if you like, please share. Thank you.
