Well my hubby surprised the heck out of me last night!
We had both had a very busy day yesterday and last night was just as busy. My folks are going to be coming to stay with us for a week or so and are bringing my grandmother with them...which means I was busy catching up on household chores and watching our son last night, while my H was busy making sure the yard was mowed etc....so we wouldn't be madly rushing around tonight, they arrive tomorrow.
I saw my H briefly for about 15 minutes after I arrived home before he went outside to get to work....he didn't come in until 9:30pm...we normally head to bed at 10pm, since we both have to be at work at the crack of dawn! So I had pretty much written off the evening for us...and hadn't said a word about it.
I know how he is...if he's got a list of things he needs to take care of...it's better to let him go for that night, and try again (if I want to spend time with him) the next night...no big deal for me, I understand this about him.
What surprised me is...when my H came in at 9:30, he went straight to our bathroom....and started filling the tub. No surprise there right? It's not uncommon to take a soak after you've worked hard. I had some laundry I had folded and needed to put away...so when I went into our bedroom....the candles were lit, the bathroom smelled like bath oils and there were two glasses of wine setting next to the bathtub! Now, I know the cats don't drink wine...so I was left to assume, he intended one of them for me.
We had such a nice soak together, talked...scrubbed each other...and just relaxed. Nothing highly sexual came out of it, which was ok...I was really tired myself. It was the fact that he made an attempt to be romantic and make time for ME at a time we'd normally be getting ready for bed.
His other behaviors are beginning to change too. He's really not as reserved and stiffly straight-laced as he's been with me in the past. He's becoming more relaxed, more playful, more affectionate at home. And last night he just about brought me to tears when right before we went to sleep (we had been talking about our S), he hugged me and said "Thank you for giving me such a wonderful little boy." Geesh, it brings tears to my eyes right now thinking about it.....but happy tears
