Sometimes i feel like my husband Jakob and i seem to have the gender rolls a little muddled.
Don't get me wrong he is male and very much a male and im very much a woman. But there are just some aspects of our life that seemed to have switched places.
Such things are
1- We went out the day and spend round about $100 (or there abouts) on a hair straightener. A nice one as well. One that you can use on wet hair. We bought this to replace our old straightener that was not quite doing the job anymore. One would assume that the act of getting a new straightener and then using it would be the desire of a female. But to think that in this instance would be a grave mistake. This straightener was purely Jakobs idea and want. He uses the straightener almost EVERY day. Where as i on the other hand only uses it sporadicly.
2- Cloths and buying cloths. Although this aspect of my life has been hindered some what from my fluctuating of weight from making our 3 mischiefs but i still think this backwards.
Jakob loves cloths. He loves buying cloths and he will make up any excuse to do so. he enjoys going round the shops looking for a bargain (which is an excuse to actually buy an item) Very rarely dose he come home empty handed. He has more cloths than i do (he has a whole set of draws in our basement full of cloths) Socks ..... he has about 30 pairs at least. Where as i don't enjoy shopping so much or buying cloths. but a lot of that has to do with the fact that i have not been the same weight at one time longer than a few months. Even if this wasn't the case, he would still have more cloths than i do.
3-One would assume that any female would out do her significant other in terms of how many pairs of shoes one has. I have about 5 pairs of shoes including my boot slippers that i live in at the moment (Even when i go into town. they are just comfy and i don't have many socks and i can wear them with no socks(i have a nasty sock monster who steals my socks but thats another blog)) I don't even know how many pairs of shoes he has and i don't even think he know himself. Always buying shoes. Under our bed is full of shoes. When we moved house about 3 months ago, he took a lot of his shoes to the dump because he had far to many. But then remaining shoes still fills the space under our bed and the collection is growing.
4-Photos. I don't like my picture taken. Its a rare occurrence to find a picture of myself. Our computer is full of pictures of Jakob. There is an abundance of choice for photos of Jakob. He says that he likes to take pictures so he can see what we looks like.
Don't get me wrong i love him to bits and love all of him. Even these behaviors. As i say his "metro" side.
But he is my male. He is my "i don't know how to cook dinner or put a cloth nappy on a baby" male. There is nothing .... scrap that ... there is very little i would change about him. Mental illness we could do without but thats another blog or 2 completely. Although would he still be my Jakob without his little obsessions and compulsions. He has O.C.D. It makes life with him rather interesting. I would even be compelled to list him as my 4th mischief, although not an angelic mischief but he does try. The amount of talked about socks im sure was an obsession he had. I would also say that is compulsion for buying shoes and cloths also fall into this category.
I think hes gorgeous and i am so excited to be married to such an amazing guy.
