my wife came home late last night in a bit of a mood. she had just come back from a family members funeral about 5 hours away. Not anyone she was close with (or I would have gone with her), but family is important to her, so she went. She went with her mom, who is known to be a bit snarky and often puts her in a bad mood.
She got home after her long day and I had been drinking, was listening to my music loudly and enjoying myself. I had done my best to make sure the house was clean and chores were taken care of so she wouldn't have to do anything when she got home, but I forgot a couple things, litter boxes hadn't been scooped, and I left a load of laundry wet in the wash and forgot to transfer it to the dryer.
She didn't really take her bad mood out on me or anything, but I could tell she was agitated, she started to take care of the litter boxes and I said "sorry I meant to do that before you got home, I can take care of it" which was met with a passive-agressive "it's fine I got it". little stuff like that. She also went to bed without saying a word to me.
I was a little wounded by her coldness, but I understood. She had a long day, had to spend her whole Friday driving 10 hours in the car with her mom, and had just attended a family members funeral, and then she comes home and has to do the chores I didn't get to. I get it, I certainly wasn't going to hold it against her.
I woke up a bit earlier than she did and was just trying to think of something I could do to make up for her shitty day, but then she woke up and turned to me and apologized. it was a serious apology too, not just "sorry for being bitchy", she said "I'm really sorry for being rude last night I was irritated and I had a long day, but that's no excuse, you didn't deserve that, and I want to make it up to you"
I was kinda stunned. Like, bro you just spent your entire Friday doing shit you didn't want to do, everyone has bad moods and this one was 100% reasonable. I'm over here trying to think of a way to make up for the terrible day you just had and then YOU wake up and apologize to ME 😳
I truly do not deserve this woman. She really goes above and beyond to try and make me happy. I love my wife. Find someone that loves and respects you, and treat them right.
Breakfast is a homemade latte brewed with the espresso machine we got as a wedding gift. local roaster, very delicious coffee. I made her one too of course.
