Relationship Goals
The one manager I like, she often talks about her husband. They sort of remind me of Bob and Linda Belcher on Bob’s Burgers. They are actually role models for the relationship I want to have with my significant other someday.
The other day she was talking about how lucky she was to have her husband. It started with the remark that she doesn’t like the way he does the laundry. Apparently he can’t fold and he mixes up their daughters’ clothes with each other and it causes some slight chaos between them. But she did mention that she is glad he does it when she can’t and she adores the fact that he does it because he loves her.
His job is a lot more flexible than hers and instead of complaining about her not being able to share the chores fifty-fifty, he does what she can’t on her busy days and she does what he can’t on his busy days. I know that sounds like what it should be and what marriage is truly about, but you don’t always see that. I hear some others talk about how annoying their spouse can be or how they’re running themselves ragged because their significant other refuses to do certain things.
Meanwhile, these two are over here planning trips together (they each made a list of places they want to see and they go back and forth between the lists), and taking each other to events, and putting up with each other’s hobbies and such. He even makes sure to come in and see her at work and she takes lunch to him on her days off so that they can eat together.
I know it’s a little odd to be going on about someone else’s relationship, but they’re cute! And honestly, they give me some slight hope. This isn’t some couple from a tv series or a book, they’re actual people I know. This is real. This is something I can have for myself someday, and I’m excited for that.
