We have been looking for a piece of furniture for a while now, last week we walked into a furniture store and she instantly fell in love with this one piece. I wasn't to pleased with it and told my wife to let's keep looking. My wife was very disappointed because the price was under what we were looking to spend and she just loved it, but seeing I wasn't happy we left the store.
An hour later I'm now sitting on the couch fully dressed and I look over at my wife and she gives me a wink and a smirk. I then look down at myself and think to myself "boy what was I thinking not buying that piece of furniture for her". I'm sure she's not the happiest women in the world seeing her husband dressed as a women. I was feeling like such a heel and I felt like a selfish person.
After work yesterday I went to pick up the piece and brought it home and when she came home from work and seen it she was so happy. When she asked me what made me change my mind, I told her I wanted to see the big smile on her face as the same smile I have when she buys me a dress.
I told her for all the stuff she has to endure with me the least I could do is live with this ugly unit.
It is true that in life we take things for granted and it seems like at times we have to step back and think and appreciate what we have. I shared this as a reminder not to be a heel like me and appreciate what we have.
