what did you do last night? was it a typical night?

Question

Last night was a typical night for me:
My husband came home from work (he's in the military) at 6:30; he had a sore back and his knee was bothering him.
We ate dinner, watched tv, talked for about two hours about our day's events.
He told me about all the gossip at the office, and about how his sgt had him do a mock pt test today (hence his sore back and bad knee acting up).
I told him about getting an A on my final (I take online college courses while he is at work) and about what route I took on my daily jog around town.
We also talked about baby names for a bit (I'm 7 months pregnant with our first and he's very excited to become a dad)
After dinner and tv and talking we played a quick card game and then went off to bed alittle early.
He back was so terribly sore that I had him lay still. I fetched him some Motrin and a glass of water with a straw, gave him the pills to help him feel better.
I could tell he was in the mood (he kept kissing me and carressing my bottom) even though he was far too tired from working 15 hours to do anything besides just lay there; so I gave him about 10-15 minutes of oral and then climbed on top to finish him off. (sorry if that's a TMI)
Then I cleaned him up and tucked the blankets in around him, turned on the stereo to help him fall asleep.
Then I snuck off to the kitchen to pack him a lunch to take to work the next day. I also put his rank and name patches on a clean uniform to wear the next day (they're just velcro patches that can be moved from acu uniform to acu uniform), wrote alittle love note and slipped it into his chest pocket, and laid out the uniform for him to put on when he woke up.
I did a quick lookie through my desert recipe book to make sure I had all the ingridents for one of his favorite deserts (a suprise for when he comes home from work today).
Then I climbed into bed with him and fell asleep.
A typical night for him and me.
Although we do take turns taking care of each other, as sore as he was yesterday, it was my turn to play doctor for him.
He takes care of me just as much and just as often as I take care of him (not only speaking in a sexual sense, but also in an emotional and intellectual sense).

I guess the reason I'm posting this is just because I'm reading alot of questions by people who seem so unhappy in their marriage...is there no one who enjoys their partners company? enjoys the give and take of marriage? enjoys doing all the little things they do just to make their partner smile?
Please tell me I'm not the only one on here who is happy, satisfied, fulfilled by my marriage?

Answer 1

you are a very wise woman. because you are putting in the effort to meet your partner's needs and show him how much you care and your appreciation. also you spend lots of time communicating with each other. i also have a great relationship and i'm very happy too. your skills are very good and you might want to consider teaching others how to have a rewarding relationship-if some others learned your skills of listening and taking care of their partners they could be happier you could make the world a better place by helping others learn what you know. the way you treat your husband is what causes his response to you. because of course with everything you do your husband really wants to keep you and make you happy. it's a win-win situation.

Answer 2

Last night we went to a concert, and then came home, and he helped me study for my finals at uni. We had a thai meal for dinner before we went to the concert, which is kind of our tradition. I woke up this morning and made him eggs benedict coz I love cooking and he well, loves eating :P . I really enjoy my partner's company. And what I love and treasure most about our relationship is that I know it wasn't always good. We are nothing alike, but we complement each other, and he is strong in ways that I'm not, while I have strengths that he doesn't. There have been bad times, like in all marriages. But I feel so proud of how strong we are to have worked together to get through.



I think the reason so many people talk about being dissatisfied on here is because it's anonymous, and safe. I could rant to my girlfriends when I'm upset with my man, but then they would think he was scum (and he's not, I'm just quite grumpy at times).



Don't get too dragged down by all the negatives- even good marriages go through sh1t times and that's when people need support and advice on here the most. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with your husband, you guys sound like the perfect match and he's very lucky to have such a caring wife.



I hope you guys stay happy for many years to come.

Answer 3

People who are happy with their marriage will probably not be posting questions in this section. They may answer, but not post. There are plenty of happy people out there. I'm perfectly content at the moment. It's been a normal Saturday afternoon. My husband went grocery shopping, I vacuumed, did the dishes, took care of the cats, cleaned the BBQ, swept up outside, spent some time on Y!A, drank a few beers. He's in his studio/garage tattooing his client. We made our football picks for tomorrow & I'm going to start preparing food for the game & our company. Not that exciting but nothing dramatic happening either. I guess I could make some sh!t up LOL!

Answer 4

Aww.. thats sweet, (and parts are definatly t.m.i. jus so u no) I think that the reason most of the people on here seem so unhappy is because they are on here to get there questions answered, and need help. A lot of the perfectly happy ones aren't the ones asking the questions they are the ones giving the advice and answering the questions. =P

Answer 5

Plenty of people are satisfied in their marriages and relationships. They still have problems but they have good times too.

I fell asleep in front of the TV. Had some text books that I was looking at too but I try to stay up to watch Leno.

Answer 6

I worked very typical for me

Im currently single, broke up with my boyfriend almost a month ago and have hated being "single again" since.

Answer 7

Considering my marriage is over and I was probably the only one in the area NOT satisfied by her... Yes, your marriage seems.. well.. lucky.



I'd never get married again.

Answer 8

i am jealous



that night sounded great, i cannot believe that is just a typical night for you. i wish me and my partner got on that well together



and congrats on being pregnant

Answer 9
