Kevin has wanted to spend time together lately. This is mostly positive, I mean what kind of horrible person would complain? I do finding myself on Monday mornings mystified at where my weekend have gone though.
He's not being clingy at all. It's like we're back twenty-six years ago when we just wanted to hang out together all the time. I wonder if it's a relationship developmental stage? I guess we are at the age of parents who are empty nesters, it's just that our nest has always been empty. So, maybe it is a milestone, just not one as easily recognizable because we don't have kids to make it obvious.
But this has been good and bad. I'm not reading as much, certainly not writing as much, and suddenly we are spending money. Not big ticket items, but old married couple purchases like early dinners, trips to the hardware store, ice cream at any time of day kind of thing. Mostly nice though because we're remembering how it used to be. We're going on adventures and making memories. We're enjoying just being us.
Something else I've noticed is that he will ask me out on a date.
Like back in the day ask me out and if I don't want to go out, he's
mildly disappointed. I guess I just never thought of it, after
twenty-six years as a risk/reward kind of thing anymore. But, surprise,
it still is.
Again, not complaining, just acknowledging the change and the fact that this change is possible. Perhaps even a heads up to those of you younger than me that this might be on the horizon. Something to look forward to, even.
And this is a cool problem to have. I mean, it's every teenager's dream really:
