One month

So we've officially been married and lived together for a month. We haven't tried to kill each other so I'd say things are going well.

We've learned a lot about each other.  For starters, I am not a morning person. To give you an example, I staggered into the bathroom one morning to take a shower and he said, "That's not your cute face." I made a motion that I perceived to be a smile and he said, "Nice try." It was more of a grimace. We haven't tried that again.

Here's what I've taken away from the last month is that he has really adapted well to being a husband, living with two feisty women, one of them being his mother-in-law. He has been polite, friendly and considerate. He tries to accommodate both mine and my mother's needs. He is forgiving of her snack habit that usually includes eating his snacks. He is good to my cats. Most importantly, he's good to me. He makes it seem effortless and I know Mom and I are both very expressive women.

In the time we've been together I've lost my temper twice. Once was during this last month and I conceded that I was a bitch and felt guilty about it. He agreed that I was a bitch and accepted my apology. But here's the scenario:

We've already established my morning characteristics. I was in the shower doing my best to melt my grimace into at least a more malleable shape when he drops not one, but two bottles in the shower. BAM! BAM! Then came the screaming, "GETTHEFUCKOUTOFHERE!" He was trying to apologize and I repeated myself at a higher volume.

I came out of the shower and he acted like nothing had happened. I'd just cussed him out for an accident, twice. He was still trying to hug and kiss on me. I felt really horrible. Here I am, with the nicest guy in the world and I screamed at him. I felt awful.

So, what have I learned? I'm married to the nicest, kindest, most caring and loving man in the world and he's also accident prone.  I need to have enough of a grip on myself in the mornings to love and accept him as he is and enjoy what I have all day, not just after 10am.
