Sorry for the unoriginal title …
Myself: Mid-40s, athletic, married
Got some MX292 - only one small To Go bottle despite my best efforts lol - last week. So I am itching to try it. Talk to the wife at lunch. She is not having a good day at work. Not at all. So much for testing the MX292, Sounds like it is going to be more of a IFM and Ishine kinda evening.
We talk again quickly later in the afternoon and things seem better. Hmmm. Maybe I will try out the MX292 after all. So half an hour or so before I head home I spray 3 sprays from the To Go bottle on so it has time to dry and settle down.
As I am getting ready to come home Mrs. BH calls me from home (she got home before I did) and asks me if I am home yet. In very short, clipped terms.
Ouch. Well of course the answer is “Of course not and you know that because you are there and neither I nor my car are there so …” but of course you cannot really say that. Or you can but … Anyways the message is clear. The day went from bad to worse and my presence is expected at home to fix something. Soon. I also figure that means the 3 sprays of MX292 I put on is not only wasted but might exacerbate the situation. (And considering we can get only one To Go Bottle, well, 3 sprays is a lot.)
While driving home I get a second call asking where I am. I might have to run in, wipe off the MX292 and apply the IFM and Ishine combo quickly.
I get home and things are pretty much as I expected. Her day has been a wreck, things are not smooth at the house and she is vetilating about both. Luckily, I am able to fix the problems at the house (technology related) for her so that helps. But I did not have time to wipe off the MX292 and apply the IFM and IShine as planned.
This is where it gets interesting.
Once all is done and kids are off to bed, we sit down doing some small stuff and she calms down. We continue doing small stuff for a while and talking about whatever. Finally she says “Time for bed.” Fine by me.
She changes fast and hops into bed. I kinda take my time and get myself set up for the next day. Suddenly I hear “What is taking you so long.” I recognize the tone in her voice and she is not saying I am keeping her awake. ![]()
Well, now it is my turn to play it up. She got to ventilate most of the evening so I get to … let her wait a little. I don’t speed up at all. I finally get into bed and she snuggles on over. I keep on pretending I still have not gotten the message. She snuggles a little more aggressively. I just go on making myself cozy in the bed for a good night’s sleep. This goes back and forth a couple more times until … she pounces.
And I will not go into any further detail. ![]()
I said this was interesting because usually after a tough day like she had, Mrs. BH is understandably tired and just wants to get some rest. This evening there was a different dynamic. Once she calmed down, that negative emotion about what happened during the day seemed to convert over to a more … passionate emotion, one that was equally strong but in the opposite direction.
I have another report but I have a pretty full agenda today and need to get moving.
