Premarital Counseling....Don't waste your Time

Instead move. No seriously.

Pack up all of your belongings and move them to another house. That way you will be able to tell if you married the right person.

Better yet. Take a total leap of faith and repaint a room or two.

If I would have only known that the true test of compatibility has nothing to do with politics, plans for children, or ethics....it has everything to do with job assignments when you are moving.

MY HUSBAND gets to be the painter, and the driver, and the heavy lifter (by default).

I get to be the "scraper" and the "cleaner" and the packer of the little worthless shit. Also I have to be the one who holds various things while he yells "fuck". Its like he's the contractor and I am his penniless laborer. Apparently I am helpless and clearly less knowledgeable about complex things like using a roller or a drill.

In my mind I tell myself that its not because I am less capable its just.... lets face it I'm not as passionate about these things.

Even worse? Every time some one comes into our new place to see our progress they are like "OH, my god that paint job is so good! And he replaced the faucet? It's wondrous. He truly is a gift from god." 

He just stands there in his household project splendor lording over his peasant girl. He makes no mention of my contributions.

I'm pretty much like the lady in the movie Beaches that is dying. He is Bette Midler, a superstar high on his craft. I am the "wind beneath his wings". He will never know how important the job of  "wallpaper remover" is until I am long gone and he has to go it alone. It will be then that he realizes that   I AM HIS HERO.

Roll credits.
