During the week my wife was going threw a chest we have full of bedsheets and towels, there was some of her lingerie from our earlier years of marriage. She told me I could have whatever I want, I tried some on and surprisingly a few pieces fit.
Tonight we were going out for dinner and my wife was waiting for me sitting on the steps, I was putting on my shoes and she noticed something with my shirt and asked me if I was wearing something under. I pulled up my shirt and showed her I was wearing one of the pieces of lingerie I got this week
I looked at her and she was staring at me but more of in a daze, almost frozen and I was just about to ask her if she was ok and then she spoke but looking in a daze. She said "I guess this is what we should expect in the next few weeks, a new phase". I didn't know what to say so I pushed my shoulders up and put out my hands and told her "I didn't really know"? She responded with "that's the problem we never know what's next, it could be anything tomorrow, our marriage is like a roller coaster we don't know what's around the next corner". She didn't have an aggressive tone or like she was angry, she just got up and started walking out the door and told me lucky for me she likes roller coasters.
Throughout the conversation she was calm and well composed, almost like trying to be patient and nothing seamed to phase her. We didn't say much more about it but it makes me wonder where she gets her patients from or if she just tolerates and tries to live with it.
I just wrote this for the women who support and at times how they support with respect and dignity, ever wonder what tolerance level we put our spouses to.
