Switching Laundry

I had a dream the other night. In it, for some odd reason, Studly and I were getting divorced. I was dating a "new guy". What I remember of it, is me texting Studly saying, "We have to get back together. I'm sick of having to teach this guy all about me." This really got me thinking of just how well Studly and I know each other. Over the years, we have had our ups and downs, ins and outs. We have always said "divorce is not an option", yet there were times I was seriously considering it. Marriage is like that. Most days are good, some are bad, others are horrid. However, we stick it out. Seriously, who else out there knows which of the million pillows on our bed is the one I actually use? Who else knows that I have to have a fan AND a humidifier running every night regardless of temperature? Who else knows that the tips of Studlys eyelids turn pink when he's too tired? He knows that I hate running errands more than anything in this world, so he does them. I know he can scrape brains off of sidewalks, yet can't stomach dirty dishes, so I do them. He knows what's so funny about me asking him to switch the laundry. It's an inside joke I will let you in on. My husband can make ANYTHING peverse. Case in point "Hey Studly, would you switch the laundry?", I ask innocently. "I'll switch your laundry." he replies with a wink. "Hey Studly, will you take the garbage out?" "I'll take your garbage out" he says. Oh for Petes sake pervert! But it makes me laugh every time, and therefore, he ALWAYS says it. My point being, I can't imagine having to "retrain" another man. I can't imagine having to explain how I make my coffee, what my favorite soda is, what my job entails, or how I like to sleep. This man knows me better than I know myself. So it's easier to just work through the problems, than to have to start over. Besides, after almost 14 years of marriage, I am pretty glad he still likes to "switch the laundry. "

I love you Studly

It's either we laugh or....we sell our husbands to the lowest bidder.
