Hell Freezes Over

Have you ever had the unfortunate experience of listening to Dr. Laura speak?  She has, or had a radio show.  I'm not sure if she still does because I hate her guts so I don't ever listen to her.  She says stuff about how if you have children and a vagina and you work that you are somehow the DEVIL and your children will grow up to be whores and junkies because you lack a soul.  She also encourages you to kiss your husband's ass and probably tells women to make sure the house is clean and that you have dinner and a drink waiting for your man when he gets home from bread-winning.  Also probably that you let him put his penis in your butthole if that is what he so desires.  (I'm not really sure if she says any of that other than the first part about being a stay at home mom (also that probably isn't verbatim.))

Of course, the Hubs loves her.  (Apparently we don't have too much in common.)

Dr. Whore-a has a book about how to treat your husband.  It's basically like what men need from their women to feel like big strong manly men.  Hubs has been telling me about it for years and I have been gagging and retching and pretending to slit my wrists every time he brings it up. 

Until today.

I was thinking today about the things that I need from him and how he sometimes doesn't give them to me because he is gagging and retching about them.  And sometimes I am thinking to myself, why won't he just do them if it makes me happy?  I mean they are little things like making sure the doors are locked before bed and putting the dishes away... things he finds annoying but that would mean a lot to me. 

So what if there are some little things that I can do that I haven't thought of that would make a big difference for him and in turn, our relationship?  I'm not talking about anal or anything, but maybe this crazy bitch lady has some actual ideas that will help us get closer?  I figured it was worth a shot so I went to the library and checked out the book (not buying it because, obviously.) 

It's possible that I will want to burn the book or throw it out the window.  But it's also possible that I might give something a try that will be a big deal to my husband.  Follow ups to come...  I haven't been able to bring myself to actually open the book yet.
