Funny relationship moment from this morning that I wanted to share. Even though my wife knows I love her a lot, she is someone who craves romantic gestures. I am not terribly romantic in that sense - I default to practical or literal responses instead. The intuition for that type of response and when it's appropriate/expected just isn't there. So we've been practicing about it.

When my job started getting really bad, we started saying "have a good day at work" to each other. I finally left that job on Friday. But today wife was standing by the front door ready to leave, when she turns around somewhat expectantly. And I'm like, "Don't you have to go?" And she says, "You gotta say the thing."

It takes me a few seconds before I have the lightbulb moment and shout, "Oh! Have-a-good-day-at-work!" like a kid getting the right answer at a spelling bee. She was so endeared she picked me up and squeezed me about it.
