I love my husband. He is legitimately my favorite person on this planet and one of my favorite things to do is spend time with him. I married him so that's not super surprising, right? If someone asked me "how would you spend the day if money was no object and the weather was perfect?" I'd straight up say "hang out with Chris and do __________." He's just my favorite.
So here's the epic downside of marriage. You find this AWESOME person that you LOVE being with and want to be with them ALWAYS and... You can't be with them always.
Right? Cuz you have to go to work and you have to go to school (for me right now that is) and some people stay at home while the other is gone so virtually no one gets to spend all of their time with their spouse.
Don't get me wrong, it's super important to have alone time and have relationships with other people. And it's important to be able to spend time away from your spouse without getting needy.
Which I can do! I can be away from Chris and still be super happy! Just yesterday I went on a five hour field trip and had a really great time with my peers. It was super fun, I'm serious. But in the very back of my mind I was thinking that it would be ever so slightly more fun with Chris there. And when I got home I was so happy to be with him again. I didn't mind being away from him and I enjoyed my time doing my thang without him but it's just a bit nicer to be with him.
Isn't that cruel?! I finally have this human I want to be with 24/7 and I can't because we are middle class people who have to work/go to school (not to mention that'd be insanely unhealthy). It's like the worlds way of mocking me.
And it's not funny.
This could totally be a newlywed thing, I wouldn't know. But man I wish I could just be with my favorite all of the time.
Marriage is so cruel. ;)
