Story time - so you know me and lingerie hanging on the line. I did laundry on the weekend and had a row of lovely coloured undies on the line next to the sports gear. This included two pairs of undies H has not seen me wear. As I was taking things down he came up to me, grabbed things out of my hand and asked me why I had a "pantie parade" on the line and what was I doing to him, and WHERE did these two little items come from??"

So we had a good laugh and I told him that he could hang his little items next to mine on the line.

It took more than a year for him to say a thing... but it DID happen... a whole year!!!

As I told FS on her thread, I think I might create some "pantie parade art" next time I do laundry and include his little undies as part of the landscape.... [Wink]

On another front... my mom, only 69 years old, is very very ill. [Frown] We don't think she'll live much longer as I learned from a very dear nurse friend last night. I got off the phone from talking with her and cried a good cry. H heard me, and came in and held me. It's really interesting.. his practical side just kicked in for me. It felt to me as if he was awkward in how he needed to help me but he was there. We talked about how I needed to headed home again - how I had to get my new laptop fired up, the sales trip cancelled for next week and a lot of things. He's been supportive in his own quiet way.
My C warned me of "using" emotions either from my own sicknesses - flu and minor stuff; as well as issues with parents to drive how I feel about him or to "force" him into playing a part he may not be ready to play. He does the "right" things. Does he do them because he feels he "has to" or because he "wants to?" Who knows. But I do wonder about this.
