My husband’s long and arduous weekend. Handholds needed for him

Just a quick post, while our dinner cooks. My husband has had such a long and trying weekend. Let me know if you have any messages of support that you would like me to pass along.

He’s been on a 48 hour stag do bender. It’s been particularly tough on him because he’s 42 years old and has high blood pressure. God bless him.

There have been pub crawls, smoked meat cookouts, distillery tours where they tasted 25 different spirits, poker games and much more. And my husband has pushed through like an absolute saint. He didn’t go to bed until after 4am on both nights and has even lost his poor little voice from all the karaoke. He did 2 Cher songs! Wow!

I’ve had an easy weekend of it, in the homestead. Looking after 3 kids and getting all the washing done after our family holiday. Had a full day of work on Friday. Caught up on some DIY in the evenings too. General relaxation.

Which is why, when my husband arrived home this afternoon at 4.45pm and said he would be going up to bed for nap, I was happy to do the kids dinner and bedtime on my own.

The poor soul. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts.

Oh, the poor lamb. Hope he pulls through ok xx

I shall pray for him, and light a candle. I hope his dressing gown of doom is warming on a radiator for him?

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Maybe best get the dressing gown of doom for him for when he reappears. Save him getting properly dressed poor thing.

Hadalifeonce · 16/04/2023 19:21

I think, perhaps the DC should go and keep him company in his hour of need.

Kfjsjdbd · 16/04/2023 19:21

This really made me laugh. Hope you get some time back to yourself soon.

TheMatriarchy · 16/04/2023 19:22

You really need to take yourself off for a 2 night spa retreat next weekend, just give him the break he so clearly deserves.

Iloveacurry · 16/04/2023 19:23

Poor love. Hope he recovers soon.

joelmillersbackpack · 16/04/2023 19:24

Poor sausage, please do ensure that his dressing gown of doom is freshly laundered and ready to go

TomatoSandwiches · 16/04/2023 19:25

Poor thing, I'm sure he'll better rest under the patio though.

CalpolDependant · 16/04/2023 19:25

Thanks everyone. He’s a good man and he doesn’t deserve the headache.

He has 4 DGOD. I’ll ask him if there’s a particular one he wants me to fluff for him.

Brilliant writing. Love the tone. X

May he rest in peace...

TeeBee · 16/04/2023 19:27

I do hope you made his dinner for him! What a soldier he is.

MiningForYou · 16/04/2023 19:27

Thinking of him at this difficult time x

SureThing01 · 16/04/2023 19:27

Bless. He’s been through it hasn’t he?

Fluff all of them. You can't expect him to make a decision at a time like this.

Sending thoughts & prayers.

CalpolDependant · 16/04/2023 19:29

I know it’s a lot to ask of him right now, but I so want to jump his bones. I don’t think I’ve ever found him sexier.

Why aren't you running off to book the poor sod a holiday after his hard week.

I don't know how you're managing to restrain yourself!

He's a good man Savannah. A good man.
