We‘re still very attracted to each other. I could get used to this WFH life

likefunnyuplifting

Okay. So he’s definitely eating my Double Stuff Oreos. Which is bullsht because I asked him at the apocalypse store if he wanted Double Stuff, and he was like “No. Those are overkill. The originals are just fine.” Fine. We get both. But now he comes out of the kitchen. I smell his breath. Toothpaste. Toothpaste used to mask chocolate breath??! Like half the pack’s gone. And you KNOW that OG sleeve’s still sitting there untouched. So I ask if he wants an Oreo, and I study his expression. He’s just like “No.” Obviously a flat out lie bc of course he does it’s a Double Stuff Oreo. Something’s clearly afoot. What’s he hiding???

likefunnyuplifting

He knows he does!!
Also are double stuffed that expensive? Zamn

My spouse is a F500 executive right below c suite, and noticed that 90% of the day is essentially all calls back to back, and 50% of call times are spent talking about other people, why certain teams won’t cooperate, et cetera. 10% is actual working

likefunnyuplifting

That's leadership anywhere. I spend 80% + on calls too.

My partner works for a small startup (not as a founder) and has put in 16 hours days every day this week to help meet client expectations while they're under pressure too. I can see how much he cares about his job, his coworkers, and the success of the company. I admire his drive. Also, he is pretty gentle and sweet with me and hearing the way he talks to his coworkers in zoom calls (confident, assertive) is like a new side of him and it's honestly kinda hot

I’m reaffirming position that I hit the husband lottery. He’s an efficient, diplomatic leader at work, so respectful with his teams. He makes me lunch. He walks the dogs. He brings me wine. He lets me freak out about our upcoming move and calms my heart.

Honestly, other than cash flow and health insurance, I don’t know what I bring to this relationship. 😂😂

Observation 2: My spouse (F500 senior exec) cares about the Skype status going away, so asked me to keep moving the mouse while he is taking a midday nap (Obv too tired from gossiping all day)

I asked who is going to possibly care about the Skype status, he said his boss (Chief something officer) looks at that... 🤣

I have a friend that’ll call me to chat, but she often goes “hang on I’ll call you back.” Majority of the times she calls, she’s either picking up her kids/someone else calls her/she’s ordering food/etc that interrupts the convo and it kinda drives me insane. I get she’s busy as a mom but it’s frustrating to try to hold a convo that gets interrupted for something else making her hang up & call back OR the kids are in the background making noise/she’s talking to them while I’m talking. Any1 else?
