More ways to tell you have been married too long

Recently, I offered you an idiot's guide to assessing your marriage here. Since writing that, I have suffered excessively in the name of marriage research and come up with yet more, incontrovertible proof that I have been married far too long.

Like many people, I am not great in the mornings.  I like to haul myself out of bed and shuffle around doing the shower/hair/tea thing solo and in silence. After a hefty dose of caffeine, I may be able to manage a few words, but not before.

The Shah, by sorry contrast, is irritatingly cheerful at any ungodly hour.  He thinks it's a huge wheeze to stand in front of the mirror, blocking my view whilst I am trying to dry my hair and avoid the Lion King look, pulling faces and leaping about like a loon.  It drives me to the borders of insanity and beyond.

He also talks.  I don't do talking until I get to work, by which time I might have just about woken up and I certainly don't want to discuss the ins and outs of high finance then or ever, to be honest.

Clearly, this perturbs the Shah and, of late, he has gone to ever more extreme lengths to get my attention in the mornings.  This week, he re-enacted something he had found on YouTube.

Chums - imagine the full, pouting horror of having this dancing around your bed at 6.30 in the morning:- 



WARNING - THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR THE WEAK OF STOMACH!

Kill me now ....

  1. Oh hella hella, my eyes cannot unsee that! I actually changed browsers because I was so intrigued. I am the most grumpy person alive, in the morning and in the...well most times of the day really, and unless I'm out, not chatty at all. Wish I could be more like your husband, happy chap (maybe it's because he's married to you, sublime happiness)

    1. I know - it's vile isn't it? And the Shah happily informs me that the same bloke has made lots of videos. I think I;ll take his word for it!
