A working wife and the lazy Husband

[forever_wandering]

I had planned on getting a lot of reading done today. Last month, I started reading 神様のカルテ, but with all the company I've been having and all my traveling, I haven't been able to get past page 15. I made the mistake of turning on my laptop in bed though, and we all know what that means, right? Now it is almost evening and the most I've done is take the book off the shelf. Darn. I'll definitely read before I go to bed though.
I've noticed that my comprehension is a lot better than what I had assumed. Even though I can't read a lot of the kanji, I know what they mean, and so I am able to actually understand the content I am reading. M-san is constantly trying to trick me in to using my Japanese or asking me how my Japanese studies are going. I simply laugh and and answer, "What are you talking about?" But the truth is...I actually am working pretty hard. 

EDIT: Since writing this paragraph, I've fallen asleep three times. So much for reading before bed! 

M-san and I were talking and he started joking about getting married. He then said that I'd get a job while he stayed home. You know, I'm totally up for that idea because I honestly don't see myself staying at home all day cooking and cleaning and all that mess. I'd much rather be out interacting with other people. When I told him I was alright with the idea, he seemed surprised.
I didn't tell him this but I really like the idea of a stay-at-home dad. I appreciate women who give everything up to stay home and take care of their family, but there is something about watching a father with his child that just...it makes my heart so happy in ways I can't explain.  I know with the way things are, both my significant other and I would have to work to make ends meet, but if the time ever came that one of us had to leave our job, I would rather it be him than me. 

What about you? Do you want to be the bread-winner? The house wife/husband? Both? Why? 

M-san and I went to Disney and had a blast. The lines at each attraction were rather long so we had many interesting conversations as we waited. As usual, we argued. He wanted to plan out each attraction we'd go to and I wanted to just go with the flow. I called him controlling, he called me a slacker. We got on Space mountain and forgot all about it once we got off. We seem to have a lot of stupid arguments over things like this, but the fact that we can forget about it in less than five minutes is always great. 

We had a good laugh that morning too, by the way. In the picture, I'm wearing a black shirt and blue jean shorts. He's wearing a blue shirt and khaki pants. When we both walked out of our rooms first thing in the morning, we were both wearing black shirts and khaki shorts, but we both ended up changing because I flipped out over the fact that we looked like a couple. Haha! 

COUPLE CLOTHING = NO
I don't get why couples need to dress alike to show that they're together. I don't believe of making a show out of one's relationship.... To me, it's no different than having your SO/you being on a leash. 
The only time it's acceptable is during Halloween.

Agreed- couples clothing is definently a no-no. That also goes for girls who dress exactly like their friends, so it looks like cloning gone wrong. Oh so horribly wrong and its always with the worst outfits and they all link up arm in arm, displaying their failed gene link!!

But saying that occasionally me and ben have done it by accident and havent noticed till one of us takes a jumper or jacket off and bam bith got blue jeans and checked shirts on...damnit!!

Im having to be a stay at home wife/mother in my future, despite the fact im really not cut out for it, childbirth would near enough kill me due to many problems, cant stand babies, cant cook or clean or tidy ir organise well. The inly thing im good with is technology, if something techy needs doing - im the girl! But if i could, i would work. I would perfer both of us to work, prehaps both part time if we could afford it. Im trying to make myself talented with crafts its not working to sell on eBay. Ive already had interest in making one of my photos i took recently into posters to sell - my future niece was like "i would buy that" so hey ho there may be future yet :) and I'm hoping when i finally get my official autism diagnosis i can get some well needed help with things - making life manageable. You have no idea how much I'm looking forward to that, oh my days!!

I know my friends and I have been guilty of accidentally wearing similar things, but we never walk around linked arm in arm showing it off. If possible, one of us will change. If not, we keep a little more distance between us.

It's unavoidable, I think, to dress alike on some occasions if you spend a lot of time together. It can't be helped if you develop similar tastes, after all, but to purposely buy and then wear matching clothes? Eck.

I'm pretty sure he enjoys it though, to a degree, because he took the time to point out to me that he changed only because I flipped out. Over fries he casually says "Did you see I'm wearing a blue shirt now? I changed for you." Lol. Wth M-san.

M-san and I aren't dating just yet but people around us always treat us as and talk to us as a unit, so whenever something happens that makes us seem super coupley, I flip out.

Selling on Ebay is a great idea! I hope that works out well for you! Even if it doesn't pan out in the end, you can say you tried, you know? And good luck getting the help you need. Do you know when you'll be diagnosed? Hopefully you can get things under control and do a lot of things you'd like to do!

Aww bless, does sound like youre a couple :) nevermind, eh.

I got a referral to be tested, but got a copy of the letter my doc received back about it saying they dont do the testing anymore and so to ring the medical official of the area, oo-er :/

But because my doc only works part time and ive been distracted by other medical problems erhhh!!! i havent been able to chase it up well aware I'm starting to become one of those people who just go on and on about their lack of health, blurgh!! so when i come back home, I'm ready to crack her ass!!

Aaaaaah, I get so annoyed when these professionals start making us run in circles. I'd definitely start getting on their case about it all!
