The Unmitigated Joy of Complaining
Bitching about your partner can be therapeutic.
Mostly I just tune her out when she gets off kvetching about her husband.
I see her point, but I don’t think she means a word of it.
I know the couple and they’ve been together for many years. The wife constantly complains about lack of verbal romance in their relationship.
I have no idea about the physical aspect of their union. They have three grown kids, five grandchildren and a greatgrand so there had to have been some family action going on in the past.
The wife’s most recent complaint is: when she tells her husband she loves him she reasonably expects an “I love you too,” in return.
The other night the aggrieved wife brought up the topic again.
This time we had the privacy of a chance to have one on one conversation.
I asked her if her husband made any comment when she proclaimed her undying love for him?
She he said nothing, silence, crickets.
I pressed on asking her if she pinned him down for an answer.
She brightened up a bit with some more negative news to report.
