It’s fair to say that I do my share of sticking my foot in my mouth.\u00a0 But, there are some people on this earth that do it and don’t even realize that they are being total freakizoids… Yes.\u00a0 I said freakizoids.<\/p>\n
So, my husband’s new schedule has meant that he is gone three nights a week until 10pm.\u00a0 The other days he is gone from 630am until 3pm.\u00a0 We have some truly, and\u00a0our only,\u00a0romantic time at 3pm when we meet at our son’s school and\u00a0we walk from our\u00a0cars (which we parked very romantically next to each other) to our son’s\u00a0school playground to pick\u00a0him up\u00a0at which time\u00a0I hand off our daughter and the still unfinished\u00a0to-do list\u00a0and turn right back around and make my way back to my car at 315pm\u00a0– which is when I shlepp off to work.\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 It’s loads of fun.<\/p>\n
As I was divulging this information to one of my girlfriends the other day at pickup she said, and I’m not kidding you, “God, aren’t you scared that, with that kind of schedule, your husband might get all lonely and\u00a0hook up\u00a0with one of his students?”.<\/p>\n
Ok. Um,\u00a0what?\u00a0 Yes, my husband is a college professor.\u00a0 But, no, that does not mean he tries to hook it up with his students.\u00a0 And it is completely beside the point that I used to be one of his students.\u00a0 COMPLETELY beside the point.\u00a0 And, exactly, what was my response supposed to be to that?\u00a0 “Oh, yeah, we’re totally cool with each other like that – you know, I don’t want to hold him down….”\u00a0– wait, wait, sorry, I just puked in my own mouth a little just from typing<\/em> it!\u00a0<\/p>\n I dunno.\u00a0 I just wonder what would have to possess me to say something like that to someone about their husband.\u00a0 I am completely aware that men think about sex like 75% of the day but I would never, ever, have the audacity to challenge someone’s marriage like that.\u00a0 The reality is that, even despite our ridiculous schedule right now, our marriage is stronger than ever.\u00a0 Infidelity is low on my list of concerns.\u00a0 My husband is more concerned with getting time alone in his studio with his little clay sculptures than he is, any day, of getting in some little tart’s pants.\u00a0 Of course I trust my husband.\u00a0 I wouldn’t have married him if I didn’t.\u00a0 Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and try to break into his work email – you know, just to see how he’s doing today…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s fair to say that I do my share of sticking my foot in my mouth.\u00a0 But, there are some people on this earth that do it and don’t even realize that they are…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,17,18,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infidelity","category-jealousy","category-marriage","category-sex"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.familyresource.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
