Elisa & I have been married for almost 11 years. You would think that we would have settled into a groove of cohabitation by now, and I suppose we have for the most part. But just in the last few days Elisa has subtly (and once not-so-subtly) made me aware of three things that she wishes I would change:
1. I need to wrap up the fresh ginger when it has been partially used.
2. I should push in my chair after I get up from the dinner table.
3. I need to respond somehow when she talks to me to acknowledge I’m listening.
These things took me aback at first. I mean, we’ve been a couple for over 13 years, and I still do things that bother her. I know I do other annoying things as well. Then I thought: If SHE can’t stand me at times, what about my friends and co-workers? Man, I must be unbearable!! But I really can’t worry about them. I just thank the Big Man Upstairs that my wife loves me, warts and all.

While many of us have talked behind your back about your annoying habits with the fresh ginger, I assure you that most of us find you generally tolerable. :)
