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.

Dearest OP could I possibly ask for some advice? As your husband is such a solider carrying on. My poor husband he's had to endure a day drinking in the sun! When he got home he bravely said he would have a cold shower but the poor man has just advised he can't get his breath it was that cold!! I've had an easy day I only had to entertain a crabby baby and a dog in this heat.

May I suggest you offer a dressing gown of doom to warm the brave soldier up, maybe fetch him a hot beverage and a sympathetic ear. If the poor dab is feeling up to it you could offer to jump his bones purely for a sign of recognition and gratitude. After all he has suffered today whilst you have clearly been a lady of leisure reaping the benefits of his sacrifice. Rise to the challenge Myn Grin
