LoveFlu.com : Relationship Advice for Couples: Our Lovers and Their Annoying/Loving Requests
Our Lovers & Their
Annoying/Loving Requests
By
Tramaine Cavil
If your partner is anything like mine, then I’m sure that you understand some of the frustrations of being in a committed relationship. There are so many things that we love about our partners but then there are those other things that drive us absolutely batty! I’m not talking about the serious imperfections like burping loudly at inappropriate times or not understanding when they’re offending others when they’re trying to joke around; I’m talking about the little annoyances that happen daily or weekly that just crawl under your skin.
Most of the annoyances come in the form of an activity or a request that you wish with all your heart you could say no, but because you love them, you say yes. Let me know if any of these sound familiar to you.
- She wants you to hang out with her new girlfriend and her boyfriend/spouse
- He wants you to watch the football game with him
- She is going to bed earlier than you but she wants you to come and cuddle
- He wants you to interact with his buddies when they come over
- She wants to go grocery shopping together
- He wants you to be just as interested and just as enthusiastic as he is in his newest hobby
It’s not that any of these things are deal breakers or are things that are going to ruin your day; they are just things that come at the most inopportune times or just things you would rather not do. I mean seriously, if you’re going to bed 2-hours prior to I am, why do I need to come to bed to cuddle with you just so you can fall asleep. I don’t want to waste 30-minutes of my awake time putting you to sleep! Let me come to bed when I’m ready.
Is it selfish of us to feel annoyed by these types of requests? Are we being inconsiderate if we say no occasionally or if we say yes, but in the back of our minds we really wanted to say no? Just in case you’re still thinking about it, the answers are Yes and Yes.
When you look at something only at face value, you don’t always understand the depth of it. One person may look at the American Flag at face value and simply see it as the Flag of the United States. Another person may look at the American Flag and see the wars that were fought for its survival and the history and growth that the United States has made under its watch.
At face value, my woman wanting me to come to bed to cuddle with her when I’m not ready for bed makes no sense to me; but when I look at the depth of her request and see that she wants to be in the arms of the person she loves the most on this earth as she falls asleep, I see that her request isn’t to annoy but to express her love.
Instead of finding ourselves annoyed, maybe we should start finding ourselves lucky. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in where we are in life that we forget about where we came from. There was a time in our lives when we prayed that we would be able to share our lives with someone as special as the one we’re with. We used to be jealous of those couples that shopped at the grocery store together as we strolled through the grocery isle’s alone, wishing we had someone to grocery shop with. And yes ladies, there was even a time you would have gladly watched a football game with a man as long as there was a good man around.
Though the ideas and requests are partners come up with may not exactly be our cup of tea, there is love behind their requests. They are simply looking to share their time and their moments with the one’s they love most…”us”.
