So last night I asked hubby if he could do a favor for me. There is something that I want from a store down in the city he is staying at and awhile back I had asked if we could go to that store whenever I came down to visit again. He had said yes. However it has been a couple of weeks now and he is always coming to see me and I really want the item sooner rather than later so last night I asked if he could stop by and get it for me before wednesday and bring it with him. He said sure. I figured he would go on his way up here on wednesday but like half an hour later he was texting me to make sure he got the right thing. I was so surprised that he raced out and got it for me. It was really sweet.
One thing I learned from this interaction is that when I let go of "controlling wife" and just am nice I actually get my way faster than if I boss him around and demand things from him. Go figure!
In the past I would have TOLD him to buy it for me. Or if I had been nice about asking I would have wanted to know when he was going to go, where he was going to put it until he brought it to me, blah blah blah. Seriously! However last night he asked me a couple of questions like "what size? what color?" and I just left it up to him and trusted that he would do a good job without me having him send pics on my phone of what my options were.
It's not a big thing but I just wanted to write it down so that I would remember that my hubby is sweet, he takes good care of me, and that if I lay off the bitching I get what I want and it's way better than before when these type of "errands" could turn into a fight.
Also this time I remembered to thank him (twice actually) instead of just taking him for granted as my "personal assistant"
