We went to bed last night and it was late.
Really late.
I was tired.
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!
MWAH

It’s not in their genetic code. They are one way and that’s it. They don’t care if you are tired or hot!

Lady Mama says
I think it’s just the simple fact that men think about sex almost all the time and women don’t. Hehe.
Nana says
That is the truth!!!!!!! I am just glad the now we are middle aged I don’t get mauled all night long. Everything else is the same. It never ends I tell ya!
Clueless_Mama says
That is a crack up. I asked my hubby just the other day, ” Will you rub my feet without expecting anything in return tonight?” He did it, but not happily. Heehee. Love that post.

Oh, it’s funny cuz it’s true 🙂
The Haphazard Housewife says
Not to be cliche, but if I had a dime for every time I’ve suffered through the same misguided advances, I’d be a millionaire. Therefore, I wish my husband would give me a dime for every time I suffer through the same misguided advances. Then I could solely fund my little shoe-buying-problem.
Keeper Of All Things says
Amen Sista!!!
Vicki says
you are too funny. I have a little slumber party in here lately (not that kind dirty girl, the kids the kids!) so he doesn’t even attempt.
Pippa says
Why have you got a camera in my bedroom?!
Nancy@ifevolutionworks.com says
Good luck with that. My husband once told me that he can’t help it. Once there is skin contact….it’s out of his control.
Christy says
Oh, I hear you!

OMG! Here, too! When I’m exhausted I practically race to bed ahead of my husband because he snores. And if I don’t fall asleep before him I have the hardest time getting to sleep. On those nights, I kiss him good night, tell him how exhausted I am. He says, “I’ll be right there.” I’m like, NO! REALLY! IT’s OK! Watch The Tonight Show, The Daily Show and then Colbert Report. REALLY! But he insists. And then he’s annoyed to find out, that yes, I really am exhausted. I just don’t get where the miscommunication happens?
