On my way to bed last night I mentioned a couple of the atheists were concerned about my stability if nothing happens, this is how the conversation went,
my wife's nickname is Eney-
Eney: "Tell them you'll be fine, don't you remember you took the day off, we all packed up and went to the cemetery with a video camera?"
Me: "Well I did tell them about those Koreans that sucked me in, Look the computer is on- go tell them yourself"
Eney: OK, I'll tell them you'll only be crying for a couple of days, maybe only 24 hours, then you'll be fine".
Me: "No, never mind- leave that computer alone"
Me: (laughing) "Ya know that was good- you're as good as the guys I work with!"
Eney: "I thought I've done better"
Me: I don't know- that was right up there"
I was still laughing when she came to bed, I told her I am going to post our talk and tell how much she has come out of her shell in 39 years.
How she would clam up and I would have to apologize.
Eney said, "NO- you would deny the whole thing, that you did nothing wrong, I would point you to the bedroom away from the kids, (I did not want this marriage to be like my parents was and the kids one day will be gone and we will be here), then we would make up and that is always fun."
She reminded me how I said, (more than once) "All guys are jerks" ( I was defending myself a bit in stating an obvious fact).
Usually, it went like this: Eney standing there, hurt look, arms crossed.
Me: What's the matter/ silence
I go to her: come on talk/silence
I gently move her jaw up and down and quietly say, "Come -on- talk"
She tells me what I did. (I didn't do anything) I said something wrong?
I apologize= not good enough - I was laughing.
She wants me to beg, pointing down with a finger.
I am reluctant.
It is hard to be so apologetic when you really didn't do anything.
But she is worth it.
I beg for forgiveness. (that's right, on both knees) Get big smile from wifey.
All is well. No doubt she is right- I have to be more sensitive.
She gives me credit for helping her be liberated from her protective shell caused by abusive early years.
Then she says,"You're the greatest".
How can you beat that?
