Countdown bracelet now. Makes me think my call's so silly, but I'd like your input. Okay. I. I really respect how you and I love the idea that, you know, when people call and gripe about their partner, that, you know, this is how they were before and you chose to marry them. And here we are. And I'm obsessed with my husband. He's brilliant in all the ways. He is also very messy. He was messy before we were married. He's still messy. So much so that I've moved out of our bathroom two times just so that we don't, you know, I don't get upset or I don't nag him. So he works full time. I work maybe like once or twice a month when he can be home with the kids. And the night before work the other day, we'd had it. We shared a big family dinner, and he said, don't worry about it. You go to bed. I'll clean this up in the morning. So I went to bed and I woke up and it was, you know, awful. Food everywhere. So I did as much as I could before I left for work just because I don't want the kids to see all of that. And then when I came home from work, it hadn't been touched, so I didn't say anything. I just started cleaning it up. And he came down. He said, oh, don't do that. I'll get it. I'll do it. I'll do it. And I. In my head, I'm like, well, it's been almost 24 hours. And so I said, look, this is, you know, kitchen stuff really does need to be put away. You know, that's not good for the kids. And he felt that he had prioritized the day correctly. He had done fun activities with the kids. He prioritized some tasks he needed to get done and that if presented the same option again, he would make the same decision to leave the kitchen like that. And then I got upset. I lied. Well, no, I really, this is important to me. He. Then he said, I was picking a fight, and I just lost my temper. I. I felt there's a wrong and a right situation here. And I. I don't know. I don't know how to tell you what. What my.

There's a warm person in bed next to you. There's a guy who made children with you and loves them and takes care of them. There's a guy who adores you. There's a guy who supports his family. There's a guy who's good in bed. He's not dead. He's just messy.
