We just hit 30 years of a pretty great marriage. Mine doesn’t dote either and I don’t think she’s ever made me breakfast. She’s not a breakfast fan.
My only issues is that she has zero sympathy for me when I’m sick or hurt.
When I hurt my back and was lying on the floor, she kicked me like a dead fish on the beach and said “Did you drop a 12 1/2 lb kid with no drugs? Nope? Then deal with it.”
I laughed till it hurt, which in my back pain weakened state didn’t take too much.
Dang, son. My wife can be harsh, but that's just plain brutal! LOL
Mine also went the natural childbirth route. Four kids, no drugs, all born at home. She's got some real bragging rights in that area, but she only ever mentions it when she's negotiating with me 😎
