Okay, so I was so excited about having a much deserved date night...I divied out the kids and off we went.
The dinner was great, the movie was WONDERFUL...funny, romantic and emotional...well worth the money. They interrupted the movie twice to tell us that we were under a tornado warning but other than that it was perfect.
I was just sorely disappointed that Jamey didn't at least act like he was having a good time! WARNING...TMI COMING UP.....I think he didn't put any effort into my date because he knew the evening wouldn't end the way he wanted it to because of my monthly visitors presence...what an ASS!!!!! How high school is that????!!!!!! That is our FOREVER, NEVERENDING argument....he wants more love making and I want more romance...it is a vicious tug of war for us that gets better at times but never truly goes away. Sorry for the TMI but if you can't vent on your blog where can you vent if you kind of live an isolated life and have little contact with friends.
Maybe I shouldn't see romantic movies because it reminds me that my husband does not have a romantic bone in his body and doesn't even try to put on a pretense of romantic behavior for my benefit EVER!!!!!! It is kind of depressing when I think about it...and I know...real life is nothing like the movies but I am a romantic at heart and my romantic heart aches for...well....romance.
We got home, I went to bed with a wine cooler and a book he stayed up to watch basketball and it was over and done with....like the title says...date night big woop...maybe we don't know how to date anymore...or maybe we just don't like each other any more...who knows!!!!
Thumbs way down on date night...I missed my kids...I could have stayed home with them and saved a lot of hassle and money.
I am truly married to a butthead!!!!
Look over me chickies....I am in one BAD mood tooooday!!!!
You didn't marry a butthead! You married a MAN!!!! Jamey is a fantastic guy Joy, he is smart, handsome, a devoted father and husband, and a good provider! Don't ever forget that my dear....
ReplyDeleteThat being said...yeah I totally get your sentiments in this post! Seth seems very unromantic at times...ok all the time. I read this book one time by Dr. Laura. It was called "The proper care and feeding of husbands" and the general idea was that your husband will treat you as well as you treat him. Even more basic, it taught me to stroke my husbands ego regularly, thank him for the small things that he does, give him a foot rub, back rub, or BJ here and there and I get treated like a princess. Sounds terrible, I know. But seriously, if you ever find yourself feeling pitiful and need some attention and lovin' from the main man in your life, do something special for him...something really special that he doesn't expect and enjoy being the apple of his eye if only for a day or 2. They say marriage is 50/50....I believe it is meant to be 100/100.
Very few women are lucky enough to be married to romantic men. Occasionally I get a bit sad that I am not one of those women, but all-in-all I am glad that I have a funny husband. I think romance might get old after a while, but funny doesn't. Imagine the couple in the movie 10 years from now when they have a few kids, a mortgage, and all the other stresses that real life brings.
ReplyDeleteMatt and I almost never schedule a date night when Aunt Flo is in town because it seems like a waste of precious babysitting, and we pretty much agree on that. ;-)
I totally agree with April....you married a MAN! Tony actually had the "balls" to tell me the other day that I was not romantic enough! Go figure! I had been in the bed sick for 3 days and when I recovered enough to get up and actually fix myself something to eat before I died of starvation...that's the first thing he thinks of! Hello....I looked like a real scank and probably smelled even worse. I have always been told that sometimes you have to give more than you get and that it will all even out...BULL! It seems like women are always giving more and the men act like the wounded party when things don't go their way.
