Yesterday was my 12th wedding anniversary. Yikes. I’m old. <\/p>\n
We were supposed to go up to Tahoe early Thursday (today) morning since a big snow storm was coming. But for some reason my husband didn’t want to drive up and potentially be stuck in the traffic\/highway closures that have accompanied all the storms. I say “for some reason” because normally, he doesn’t care – he just wants to get up there into the fresh snow. So we stayed here and will try the drive up late Friday night\/early Saturday morning depending on the weather\/highway conditions. I was pretty excited to get up there for the storm but whatever. These are probably the last of the big winter (spring?) storms and I want some white, fluffy snow. But being stuck on the highway for 8 hours last Saturday was no fun either.<\/p>\n
Husband had a dinner meeting Tuesday night. Around 5pm, he asked if I wanted to come. I was still at work and, since I took Monday off, I had a lot of stuff to do. Plus I got up at 5:30am, after not sleeping well again thanks to his snoring. And I was in my “drive into work from Tahoe” outfit of jeans and a sweater – not really “dinner in the city with business partners” clothes. Turns out (I found out the next day) his partner brought his wife so my husband was bothered that I didn’t go. Hi – she has no job. She stays at home, exercises and shops all day. Of course she could go to dinner in SF at the last minute. But yes – clearly that was my problem. I got home after 8pm from work and unpacked everything and ended up going to bed around 11:30pm and he was still not home. So yeah – that would have worked out well for me who gets up early.<\/p>\n
Wednesday morning came and I got a “Happy Anniversary” as I was on my way out the door to work. He had just woken up since he got home so late. At work all day – no calls, no flowers, nothing. Ok. Whatever. He was with the same partners in meetings all day.<\/p>\n
Around 4pm he texted and said we should go out to dinner and to pick a place. Ok. He got us a reservation at my favorite local sushi place for 8pm. I brought a bottle of bubbly since the last time we were there, they had actually run out of champagne (?) and I love the combo of sushi and champagne. Plus it was our anniversary.<\/p>\n
We got there and had a nice dinner. I gave him his card and gifts, that I put time and effort into considering he is impossible to buy anything for. I got nada. Not even a card. A simple $2.00 card. Nothing. I guess dinner was it.<\/p>\n
When we got home around 10:30ish – he went straight to his computer. I went to bed. <\/p>\n
I’m pretty much come to the conclusion that this is the amount of effort he wishes to put into this. It made me sad. We’ve been together a long time. But things just die a slow death when you don’t care for them and put effort into them. I guess I shouldn’t care either then. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
