How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Am I My Hubby’s Hooker?

in Everyday on 08/02/10

*Warning: Super honest post ahead.

After almost 14 years of marriage I feel like I still wield some power.  C’mon, I can’t be the only girl out there who is trading IT away.

“Ug. I think I have a headache.” Is commonly heard uttered from my lips.  Sometimes it is legit!

Back rub begins.  Le Sigh.

“Honey really, “ I lament “I’m sorry I’m just SO tired.”

Then Hubby pulls out the big guns.  He offers to let me sleep in the next morning, wash my car, and go grocery shopping.  As a last ditch effort he offers to take the kids WITH HIM on his grocery run. 

Suddenly I am all kinds of in the mood. 

Did I just prostitute myself out for a clean car, a quiet uninterrupted nap and some snacks?

Sheesh.  Next time I am holding out for jewellery.

      This was very funny and very true. Sometimes we have to negotiate the mood. Sometimes its dinner and a movie but after you’ve been in a relationship for a while its sleeping in and a trip to the bathtub ALONE…..lol Made my day!

      LMAO! Any woman who denies prostituting herself out for those quiet moments of peace and quiet is lying.

      That’s not hooking, that’s just being a wife and actually getting Hubby to DO something (that needs to be done) around the house!! You’re doing good!!

And then there’s @loviamykonos. 🤍

Looking for a hotel in Mykonos? This one has stunning views, the warmest staff, dreamy boutique-style surrounding and an unmatched location.

There were so many moments sitting on our terrace, looking out over the Aegean, we’d look at each other and say, “Can you believe we’re here! That this is real!” 💕
Lovia, you were pure magic. ✨
We left a little piece of our hearts there. 🇬🇷🤍

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
