How To Be A Good Wife
(actual excerpt from a fifties Home Ec textbook)
Some Don'ts - Don't greet him with problems and complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest that he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
So for the first time in a while, I'm really genuinely happy. However, I have this nagging voice in the back of my head saying it's not gonna last. And he's probably right too. Stupid asshole.
