You worked hard for the honey.
You put forward your best self, remembered to be engaging, to smile, to stand upright and to endure those awfully painful shoes. You even read up on sports a bit, skimming the Sports section of your Internet homepage, the section you never ever read before. Your hair and nails were always correct, legs and otherwise hair-free and you maintained your form by remembering to consume your veges and followed tips from Bob and Jillian on the Biggest Loser. You are always happy now, because of course, now you’re ‘dating‘. Life is great, you are your best self.
So now you got him already. What next?
You soon realise that getting him is not even half the battle you thought it was. It is only AFTER you have him you look around and think… “well THAT wasn’t so damn hard. What the hell was all the fuss about”.
You realize that you’re not so shabby, as a matter of fact you are pretty freakin’ awesome. You got ish going on, why wouldn’t he want to be with you? And so comfort starts to kick in.
Time passes, things happen… and don’t happen in your relationship, but that’s life. It happens to everybody doesn’t it.
You’ve read tips on various websites on things you can do or introduce to ‘spice’ up the relationship. Positions that you MUST try, contraptions you MUST buy, stuff you MUST ingest to ignite that FYAH!!!. You read and think that the writer may be unto something, and that people’s relationships must really suck out there if this is what they have to resort to, and you smile thanking yourself that your relationship isn’t that messed up.
Then one day you find yourself staring in the mirror wondering just how you reached to ‘this’ point and where it went all wrong.
Being in a relationship is not an excuse to let all the chickens out the coop. Personality and inner beauty are great yes, this keeps the love alive, but there is more to an intimate relationship. Forever is a long time, the fyah needs to be kept ablazing. It’s pretty difficult to get the sexy on when your partner can’t remember that you have a waist under that there muumuu. A little upkeep goes a long way.
~ Make yourself your first priority
Schedule some “you” time for if you wait for it to find you, it wouldn’t. Take some time to relax, and find the time to groom. Schedule a pedicure or give yourself one. Get some dead sea salts or some shower gel and soak your feet for a bit. When you are finished give your soles a lil scrub-a-dub and pass some polish on those nails. It doesn’t have to take you whole day. With proper maintenance it’s just a quick fix every couple weeks. Pick up a body scrub at the pharmacy. Change your hairstyle. Try a new lip gloss. Remember that you have other friends and give your relationship time to breathe. The possibilities are endless. Customize yours.
~ Get measured and invest in good underwear.
It helps keep the girls where they are supposed to be and in the line of sight. It is said that most women wear the wrong underwear size. It also helps improve your posture and they way you feel. Get at least one itiem in a pretty colour; it doesn’t have to be red and lace, but this combo would definitely help, but really anything but ‘nude’.
~ Keep hair levels under wraps
The season has changed not your partner. Whatever method you use, make hair removal a priority. Eyebrows, arms, legs, underarms… Customize it however you like.
~ Get your own clothes.
Yes it was cute when you wore his shirt when you spent the night by him back in the day. But as you guys are now living in the same house, the novelity has worn off. Get your own ‘comfy’ clothing. ‘Comfy’ doesn’t necessarily mean oversized, it just means comfortable; they don’t constrict but they FIT. I’m not a big fan of sweats in general, but I do understand the need for them during the winter on occasion and, so that we are clear, anything outside of the confines of your home doesn’t qualify as an ‘occasion‘. So by all means sure, but at least honey get your own sweats. Ones that fit so that your rear doesn’t look floppier than you already think it is, because then the question “does my butt look fat” is just an argument waiting to happen.
~ Close one eye
Pick your battles. Noone likes a kill joy party-pooper. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and yes that also that refers to how you want those chores are done. Quit complaining already, it’s not very attractive.
~ Smile
Enjoy your relationship. It’s all that you ever wanted and now you have it.
Mhmmm, there is a laundry list of things that your man can attend to, like that gut for example, but as we run the ish up in this bish, let us lead by example.
Besides, they are now busy manscaping, so one hurdle at a time.
Just because there is a clause in the vow that says that you are in it for life doesn’t mean that you have to get too comfortable.
