If my first husband met my second husband…
I think they would really get along. They could talk about how messy I am as a cook – that I use every spoon and fork in the process and don’t clean up as I go. They would bond over my spiritual beliefs, mocking my trust in the Universe to take care of me, or joke about the many products in the shower and the bathroom cabinet of unknown and unnecessary purpose (to them). They both think I take too long to get ready to go somewhere, don’t do enough yard work, that I’m bossy, and that I am righteous in an argument.
So these things are probably true.
If more than one person who knows you well says it, it may be worth looking at, right? It points to where some of our work lies. It’s where we can be more conscious, more kind, more loving to ourselves and others. I can be gentler on the earth by dirtying fewer dishes and using less products, for example. And I work on being softer and holding my tongue in my current marriage… like every day.
That being said, I THINK that they both think that I am hot, smart, considerate and funny as well. (They nod their heads.)
Then they would both take an imaginary golf club swing, and scratch their backs against a door frame.
i always say, if you want a job well done let a woman do it!
