Fences mended, harmony restored

nerdbaby · January 2012

I made it a point to leave work on time, went home to shower, change, fluff the hair, walk the dogs. Hubs came home to the woman he actually married instead of the haggard beast I've been of late. There was a LOT of apologizing and I love you-ing and thank you for all the cleaning-ing. We walked to our favorite restaurant for an early dinner and probably passed a hundred babies in strollers which got us both excited and all baby-talky.

It was a truly relaxing night for both of us and while hubs kept saying over and over that I didn't need to apologize, I felt like whatever funk had taken me over was lifting. Walking back we stopped for gelato and I'm pretty sure they made my decaf blended coffee thing entirely CAFF, because I am wired while hubs has been asleep for hours.

So anyway, thank you for letting me confess my awfulness and not being too harsh. Much appreciated.

Yay, good for you two.

Honestly, it's really great that you guys can hash it out and then make up without lingering hurt feelings. Post partum stress and exhaustion can try even the the best of marriages, so really this has just been a great practice run. Now you know that you two can handle anything

He really is extraordinary at sorting out what's real and what's madness, a trait I both admire and am crazy jealous over. His general response is to reference Fatal Attraction and say, "As long as I know you wouldn't boil my rabbit, we're good." When we were still in the friend zone I misread it as him being a pushover, but he's really just laid back and doesn't see the point in yelling - he says if it's that important we'll wait to talk when we're calm, and if it's not it'll pass over.

So yeah, I have huge faith in hubs and in the meantime I'm trying to learn from his jedi ways.

Aw, yay! That's my fave part of any fight, the making up part

. Your DH sounds as laid back as mine, though he could teach mine a thing or two about cleaning, it sounds! Glad you had a great night.

I'm glad you two are back to normal. Don't be surprised if it happens again, as those hormones will just keep creeping up on you. Luckily it sounds like you have a great guy who will be understanding.
