How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Men Can’t Cuddle

in Everyday on 08/31/09

We went to bed last night and it was late.

Really late.
I was tired.

Really tired.
For once I was also hot! This is not a normal occurrence for me. I’m usually the one wearing a sweater on a summers day.
So, the scene is set. It’s late, I’m tired (he know this) and I’m hot.
We say goodnight. Quick kiss. I roll over and with the speed and stealth of a Ninja…take off the flannel pajama bottoms. He still noticed.

“You want to cuddle?” Hubby asks
“”Awh..that would be nice” I say

Wait a second. This is NOT how you cuddle mister.


Why is it that men can’t cuddle??
Is this a throw back to the age of cave men when they felt the need to spread their seed and keep the population growing? Or is it a little more recent? Perhaps it’s all those times they were shot down in high school, so now they are determined to make up for it with their poor unsuspecting wives. Maybe that high school boy just never grew up and is just following the lead of their “little hubby”.

Tell you what boys, we do so love that you appreciate us, but sometimes when your wife says she is tired and it’s late and she’s hot, it really means she’s tired, and it’s late and she’s hot. It’s not personal, and it certainly isn’t some kind of code or signal that you just need to try harder! Trust me when I say it is okay to just rub our feet, massage our backs and expect nothing in return. Sigh. It makes us happy. A happy wife equals a happy hubby! Give her a hug and call it a night…you will be rewarded….eventually!

Love ya Baby!

      My husband does not cuddle since we had kids. He likes to stay up late and watch tv while I go to sleep a couple hours before him.

      Cute Hubby doesn’t even try anymore. If he wants a little “sumpin”, he comes right out and asks me if I’m in the mood. If I’m not, he’s cool with that.
