I love that when I'm totally overwhelmed with life - ready to seriously take a step back and re-examine the choices I've made and how I got here in the first place - that I can send a simple message like "I need to come straight home. It's been a long day and I really just need a hug".
That when I send such a message, it's received with "Okay honey" and not with a host of narcissistic or self-centered verbal diarrhea that shifts the focus so that my needs don't get met.
That literally, what "okay honey" means is that I come home to a man who has already vacuumed, made the bed and cleaned up the living room, so that I can simply come home, kick off my shoes, get a hug and unwind. So that I can leave the last two days where they belong - in the past - and refocus on the things I need to do versus the things I'd like to do at the moment.
I also love that this also means that for once, budgets and financial goals aside, we can have Date Night like we used to - with some takeaway, tv, and snuggling in front of the television.
