Reading Night Ruined....
I read in bed. I
go to bed early and enjoy a couple of hours of uninterrupted reading as many
nights in the week as I can. I have done this since I met my Hubbie. He understands
this and knows I treasure this.
Perfect Scenario
ME: “Night
sweetie, I am heading to be early to read.”
HUBBIE: “Ok,
enjoy, I will watch some sky plus stuff for a couple of hours.”
I skip off to bed
delighted, as I have at least 2 hours of uninterrupted reading!!
But, and there is
always a but, look what happened when Hubbie decided to come to bed
early.
Not so perfect Scenario
ME: “Night
sweetie, I am heading to be early to read.”
HUBBIE: “Sure I
will come with you. I am tired and could do with an early night.”
ME: “Sure watch some more TV. Catch up on some sky
plus stuff”
HUBBIE: “No I am
not bothered”
In bed, I am
reading away and Hubbie decides he is going to watch TV in bed.
ME: “I can’t read
with the noise of the TV”
HUBBIE:” Sure, I
will keep it down low”. Hubbie proceeds to turn down TV.
ME: “No, it is
still distracting me, not working, turn it off”
HUBBIE: “Sure I
will put on the wireless headphones”
ME: “Ok, that
would be better “and Hubbie puts on the headphones but I can still hear the TV.
ME:”I can still
hear the TV”
HUBBIE: “How can
you?”
ME:”It’s because you’re
right beside me and I can hear it on the headphones”
HUBBIE: “K, Sure
I will turn off the TV and sleep”. Hubbie turns off TV and then lies down to
sleep.
I am happy
reading and then….
HUBBIE: “Can you
turn the pages on the book quieter????”
ME: “What”
HUBBIE: “You’re
turning the pages on your book really loudly”
ME: “No, I am not”
10 Minutes later….
HUBBIE: “When are
you switching off the light? Are you finished yet? I can’t sleep with the light
on, and the noise??
I shout: “WHY DID
YOU BOTHER COMING TO BED WHEN YOU KNOW I LIKE TO READ IN” BED!!!!
Slam down the
book on the bedside locker, switch off the light and huffs to sleep.
HUBBIE:”I think I
will get up and watch some TV in the living room, I am not tired now”
Slán!
