Male insecurities. Bless 'em.

First things first, a MASSIVE thankyou to everyone who reads my blog and another GIGANTIC thank you to those who left me the most wonderfully supportive comments in response to my rather self-indulgent post yesterday. 

I geniunely never knew you cared so much.  I was bowled over by it and to me that means more than any list or index.  That's what blogging is all about for me, and I feel a weight lifted having decided to just let the competition go.  No offence to the Tots 100 which has a very valuable role, but just not for me at the moment.

Now then, on to today's subject.

Men.  My they are precious, sensitive little flowers aren't they?

A very good friend of mine has been having, shall we say, a bit of extra curricular activity of the horizontal kind lately.  She was going through some sort of early mid-life crisis, but after a stern talking to last night (by moi) she's over it.  She's way better than the situation she'd got herself into and I'm proud of her for taking control.

Anyway I mentioned this to my husband last night.  It was on my mind and I didn't think she'd mind.  He quizzed me about how, when and why and I realised I didn't want to get into this conversation.  So I closed it down.  He went quiet.

I looked at him and he was pretending to watch TV, but I know he hates Eastenders so I was having none of it.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm fine"

The penny dropped.  "Oh I get it because of what I just told you you think I'm having/might have an affair?"

"Who me?  No, I wouldn't think that hahahaha"

"Jolly good, because of course you'd be insane to think that.  Not only do I love you very very much but if I had time to have an affair I can tell you I'd be doing a whole lot of other stuff first before any of that sort of nonsense"

Imagine?  The very idea of having to get myself into some sort of presentable state for an affair.  The stress, the guilt, oh good Lord not for me thanks.

"Oh okay, well that's good then" he said

"And another thing, I think you might be the only man on the planet who would find me even vaguely attractive right now, so you have nothing to worry about"

"Yes that's true".

"So stop worryin...what??  what do you mean 'that's true'?"

Honestly, men may be sensitive little flowers, but it must be hard trying to talk with their feet so firmly shoved in their mouths.

He has been fixing the washing line today.  I have just had the 3 calls about exactly where it needs to go already.  Because of course I can really help given I am here IN MY OFFICE and he is at home looking at the garden.  Where the  washing line will go.

Gotta love 'em.
