Romantic?????

I’m not really sure what romantic is. I was raised by a single mother who really didn’t have time to try to romantically involved with anything. My husband was raised by two people who hurt each other more then tried to be loving to each other. When Wesley Makes the effort to be romantic I am afraid more times than not the sediment is often wasted on me. I have a hard time reading signals and realizing that romances in the air. Makes me feel like I’m not a complete person. Something that most women are longing for is something that I sometimes take for granted. I guess my idea of romance is just being able to count on each other, it’s randomly getting a bouquet of Sunflowers, remember to grab a pack of cigarettes just because I am not sure he has any. Staying awake to talk to each other even when we are dog ass tired. Running through our day but still stopping to have coffee, and surprise lunches just to talk about our upcoming week. Just considering each other. Looking at each other more than just being Mom and Dad. Being able to remember each other and our individual quirks.

Maybe to me romantic is overly romanticized. Because I think that love marriage and family are more than what people visualize when they decide to get married. Too many times people feel like if their marriage doesn’t work they could always get divorced instead of working on the actual situation. Recognizing that it takes work and it’s hard.
