Joe's reaction to my writing

I asked Joe the other time how he felt about me writing or rather complaining about him and he said that it's just me and he is not too bothered about it. I am those who will aired out the grievences and then forget about it pretty fast too. Am I really like that? Maybe- mayybe not. Actually I will harp on the matter of nothing is being done. The way to shut me up is to rectify whatever problems I have. Anyway, I am too stubborn to back off sometimes so people must really have good reasons to persuade me if not I can be quite stuck in the mud.

Joe and I are getting along lovely. Sometimes looking at him can be so interesting. He can be so childish and does not realize it. He was brought up as an only child and his behaviour sometimes can be just that. He does not readily give attention to others and will wait for others to give him the attention instead. He can be caring only I screamed at him, demanding that he paid me the tribute. Sometimes the emotional aspect of mine has to be taken care of by myself - Love him and accept who he is. Joe might have lots of complaints about me too but he likes to keep it for himself. I sometimes will purposely "bait" him so that he can show some emotions.

Nowadays Joe will help put in the household chores but he is still very much not automatic. I now entrusted the gardening under his care. He was saying that gardening a good distraction for him as he feels that he has completed a day's work after doing his part. Well! happy for him as he can feel more useful. Actually he is busy doing the worm farm where he fondly referred the earthworms as his pets and feeding them regularly. The worms are definitely growing bigger with ours a diet rich in vegetables and fruit. They have no worries of lack of food except for the one month that we will be away at Singapore. We will leave them food and they won't die so easily. When we bought them they were packed in a box with only damp papers inside.

Okay back to Joe. This year we celebrated our 10th year of matrimony ( 11 yrs if considered ROM) in Sydney. Never thought it will be in another country. I wonder if we can celebrate our 15th and 20th years together at different parts of the world together. Who knows what tomorrow hold for us. For Joe, I am hoping he can be a bit more expressive and ready to take chances. How to make a man love you to distraction I wonder??
