It’s one of those “I’m going in the kitchen anyways” type of things. If someone would do that for me I’d appreciate the fact that they were trying to help me out a little bit.
My wife and I have been doing that for over 65 years. And we still say thank you and you’re welcome to each other. And I open doors for her, when she will let me.
Friend of mine went on a “mission” trip to Russia several years ago. While talking to some men about how to be better husbands, he mentioned that every morning he gets up and makes coffee. When his wife wakes up, he presents her with a cup of hot coffee. One of the men said “I’d like to do that for my wife, but when I get up, she’s already out in the barn milking the cow!”.
Well, if he’s not finished all Arlo needs to say it, “I’m not finished.” If he is finished, what does he care if she takes the glass. As far as lingering is concerned, he is still sitting in the same place, isn’t he?
@Paul or “space”Thank’s for telling your story,I can’t imagine how difficult that must have been for you, perhaps your sons will want to connect with you when they are older.

Yes indeed! A recipe for harmony and marital longevity. 1989 was a wonderful year for us too.

They give you a fortune cookie and a check and expect you to take the hint.Service falls off rapidly after that.
