My Dog Ate It

[pkq]

So my hubby waits me out. And after two days of him not the least bit bothered about the thought of wearing the same pair of socks twice in a row, I can't take it anymore and pick up after my dog.

Having been married once many moons ago, I realize you give up quite a bit of control over your space during marriage, co-habitation, etc. However, I still believe understanding and abiding by each others needs and desires boils down to how much respect you have for one another. How much respect you will receive from your mate can be seen, often, by how much respect they give others. I can understand some things happening as a playful event sometimes but habitual negligence reflects lack of respect. Sounds kinda' harsh but that's the way I think and probably why I will remain single.

I have no desire to marry a man who will have no regard for how much they burden me with things they should be doing for themselves. After all, running a household isn't up to just one person, at least that was per my mother during my formative years. We all had chores around the house, which she said was training for life so we'd know how to pull our weight in society, once we left the nest.

PKG - I just want to clarify something because apparently my post sounds, well, not quite like I intended it to.

My DH is a GREAT guy. He does more for me than I deserve(and he even cleans house occasionally!). He respects me, what I do, and all that I believe; as I do him. He is my best friend, my confidant, and my sanity.

I was one who swore I would never get married. I was bitter, cynical, untrusting; you name it. A typical product of divorce.

But once in awhile soulmates meet, and I was lucky enough to meet mine. Picking up his shorts is so minor in the sceme of things. Besides, its not like I never left mine laying on the floor. And if thats the worst he does, I consider myself lucky.
