Recognition and Support
June 27th 2008 10:34
I have successfully survived my first month at my new job. It was intense, the learning curve was steep, but also a month when I realised how much Will actually loves me.
Ok, so I am the one who is working, making money and trying to keep both of us alive. In any other situation it would be pretty dreadful, but in mine, it's sweet and extremely satisfying.
Will recognises my hard work, and recognises his role in my change of lifestyle and career and thanks me for it. And he is willing to support me every other way. In the morning while without a job, he is free to sleep until whenever, he is willing to get up with me to make me breakfast before work. He does the laundry, he cleans the house, puts the rubbish out and not to mention, cooks almost every single meal I have. I come home to a cooked mealing waiting for me, and it's always proper food too. Stews, pies, stir frys, roasts and pastas. I do not need to lift a finger. Not even for a cup of tea.
And he hasn't complained once.
So while it's financially stressful and tiring for me to be the only one working full time, he is also trying to be extremely useful around the house.
Isn't it great?
Recognition of merit and supporting one another is so important in relationships. Unfortunately in today's society, too many people try to quantify merit that they forget sometimes a small guesture and actually mean a lot to someone. Sure cooking may not be the same as having a full time job, but at least it's his way to make sure that when I am not at my job I am relaxed and don't have to work too much more.
It's always the thought that counts! (Not that I am saying cooking is not hard work! It is! )
