The Wife

Just a re-post.

He rejected me. I feel stupid, he's so busy, I should have known.

I thought it would please him, I've planned it for days, chores undone, misplaced socks, crumpled shirts, the dress hire shop, fancy dress party I'd lied, and finally the note on the kitchen table detailing my failings, surely I deserved to be punished. But he didn't punish, he asked what was for dinner, said if I was too pushed we'd hire a domestic, said the uniform was nice and sat down with his laptop. I'm upstairs now, he'll come looking for me I know he will, he loves me.

Have a good week.

Great piece Ronnie, and well written. Something familiar to most of us at times. Hope you have a wonderful week :)

He sounds considerate but clueless to me. She'll be waiting a long time. Maybe she should serve him a paddle for dinner.

Hugs,
Hermione

As Hermione said, considerate but clueless. I too think she'll be waiting a while until a hammer strike to his head.
