You Thought We'd Be Doing WHAT Tonight?
That moment when you realize you and your partner had verrrrrrry different expectations for how you'd be spending your evening.
Have you ever really looked forward to a particular experience and, without realizing it, assumed your partner was looking forward to it the same way you were?
Classic example in our marriage: It’s 1 p.m. I remember that we have a nice bottle of wine we brought back from Sonoma a few years ago, and well we really should get to drinking it before it goes bad.
So if we’re going to drink it, I should make something nice for dinner (oooooh short ribs and risotto!).
Oh and we should do a cheese plate. And dessert!
Ten minutes later, the Instacart order is placed. My afternoon flies by, because I’m so exctied about this evening.
Look at us cool married people living our best lives, on a Tuesday night no less!
So imagine my surprise when, at 5:30 p.m. as I’m chopping onions and the wine is breathing, Ben walks downstairs holding his gym bag.
