Glad To Help You Through This

I will be glad to help you through this. Here is the key to my heart. Feed me coconut cake. Make sure it is the refrigerator every night. Buy the groceries Because I despise going to the grocery store. Wash the clothes If you want the best of the best of me For laundry is not my thing Tell me I am pretty Cuddle me and hold me Tell me I am smart and creative If you want me to be your forever one Last but not least, do not over-react To anything I say or do, or even act like it is odd. Treat me like a lady, not a princess, and apologize For everything, even if it is not your fault. Because there is a tiger, lion, and bear inside me And when they are released, you will be running Flat out, up into the hills. So buy that coconut cake And let's get started, my forever ever man.

Sara Lee's frozen coconut cake is perpetually in my refrigerator, waiting for me to devour her.

YES! I was also blunt with my husband in the beginning. I dragged him into my mess & said- "This is how I live. I can TRY to be neater, but I will NEVER be a neat-freak, not possible. Can you live with this?" He may've cringed a little, but he didn't run- & the expectation was realistically set for the rest of our life (although I'm more organized now!). Equally shared (or clearly labelled) junk food was also pre-agreed-upon!! Serious stuff here! ;D

I think men should be told and taught right up front, from the first meeting, what it is going to take to KEEP her and KEEP her happy.
