My husbands mother has a pool. A beautiful pool, and we have started finally making GOOD use of it.
My husband has ruined ear drums, he refuses to swim without his ear plugged up and he’s smart to do so. In the past it has taken me a LONG time to convince him to swim. If he doesn’t have ear plugs he won’t. This summer he’s been good about having wax and has been swimming with me and the kids a lot.
And he’s done this...thing.
Where while were in the pool, he dunks me, or grabs my leg as I go by, or flips me over while I’m in an inner tube. He splashed me and plays with me.
He Flirts with me.
We’ve been married five years. We’ve had two kids, we’ve had three miscarriages, we’ve gone through a hellish first year with our son, I’ve gained (sssoooo much) weight and....he flirts with me.
I feel like I’m 16 in the pool with my boyfriend. I feel like I’m important and cherished and adored. And I know it’s a tad bit silly...but I love that he’s been doing this. I just love the playfulness of it. There’s no malice, it’s not...there’s no meanness when he does it.
It’s just a boy being playful with a girl.
And I just absolutely love it.
