The Mister and I were snuggled up sweetly, contemplating the horrors of Joel and Julia’s divorce¹ when I said, “I can’t imagine being divorced. I can imagine you dead, cause I’ve done that so many times², and — ”
His laughter was unexpected and as he howled, I realized. Oh how I realized.³
¹Joel and Julia are fictional characters
²During travel, training, surgery, and deployments
³I could’ve phrased that differently
Joel is/was way too huggable for that nonsense.

Any woman who has not imagined her spouse no longer with her, and taken necessary steps (where does he keep his computer passwords), is asking for trouble if something happens. And it could be that hubby is in the hospital for emergency gall bladder surgery, not death, but it happens at the time of month he normally pays the bills – or something like that.
I should make that WHEN something happens: no one should expect to get through life without SOMETHING going wrong occasionally.

You made your point just fine. If there were no guffaws in marital relationships, it would mean our significant others had us all figured out. You wouldn’t want that, would you?
It’s much more fun to be married this way.

That is too funny, Joey. It puts a smile on my face that you and The Mister make a much better couple than two fictional characters from TV.

LOL my hubby has NO CLUE even though I try to tell him things. He’d be lost. I, on the other hand, have had those thoughts. Great post.

ROFL!! Love your images, and the footnotes. I’m so glad he thought it was hilarious and howled with laughter. 🙂
I don’t think He-Man appreciated it too much when I said I couldn’t see us divorced, but I could see me being a widow. He didn’t laugh.
