This week, he might wake up before his alarm goes off, he will prepare and leave for work without waiting for you as usual.
He will not have breakfast in the house, blame it on the ‘busy’ schedule, and not even appear bothered that he is driving off alone in the car you bought together and subjecting you to the push and shove at the bus terminus every morning.
Remember that worn out suit that you detest? The one that makes people think you are a bad wife?
Yes, he will make sure he has it on at least twice this week. Do not, I repeat, do not try to convince him otherwise; it’s a trap, let him put on all the worn out clothes he wants.
If at all you leave the house together every morning as the ‘happy couple’, don’t try to question him when he pulls the above stunt. Give him all the time he needs to leave the house earlier than expected.
There is a very high possibility that he will ignore your love messages this week, or better still, he might decide to answer them after 32 hours using that one word that makes your heart sink... ‘ok’. If he does that, send him another text of how happy you are after receiving his ‘ok’ reply, in fact, offer him a date for that reply.
Do not dare cook his favourite meal this week, otherwise you will curse the day you met him. Chances are that he will not even move near your meals.
This is because he might decide to get back home full, ready to go to bed. I repeat, it’s a trap. So to save yourself the heartbreak, stay away from the kitchen unless it’s for your own good or the children. If anything, the moment he comes back home and says he is full, smile at him, give him a kiss and say you love him!
This week, he might come to bed and decide to sleep letter ‘Q’ yet he knows very well your bed is too small. He is aware the other will have to bear with sleeping on the edge ready to fall off. Do not throw tantrums, just squeeze yourself in the small space left and sleep letter ‘I’.
Come to think of it, it will even be a miracle if he comes back home throughout the week. Chances are that he might spend some of the nights out and will not bother to explain himself.
I hope by now you know it’s still a trap. If he spends the night out, use that night to sleep all the possible letters on your bed without limitations. When he comes back, welcome him with a high five and tell him how you missed him.
A lot of men will do these and much more annoying things this week just so their women start a fight. Guess what will happen next? He will make sure the fight goes all the way to Valentine’s Day.
We know what will happen if he is not in good terms with you on Valentine’s; someone else will enjoy the day with him. Maybe, just maybe, he already has that someone else in mind this week. Ladies, let us play cool this week. Say NO to whining and nagging.
Relax, morning will come, exactly one week from now. If he will not be with you and gives a flimsy reason, don’t get mad; once again, when he gets home the day after Valentine’s, open the door, smile and give him a high five...this time on his face!
