She Should Have Known He’d Give In
By OnTopic | June 29, 2010
It had been a long day of shopping. All she wanted was a simple little wedding with family and friends. He was not cooperating in any of the preparations. Once again he repeated that they didn’t look to him like men wedding bands. He did the same thing in every jewelry store they went to.
She repeatedly asked him why he thought they didn’t look manly enough for him. All he said was he didn’t know but they just looked too feminine. She couldn’t imagine how a simple gold band with no decoration on it could look either manly or girlish. She asked him what he thought the alternative should be. He gave her a blank look.
She recalled her parents on the first night they met him. After he left, they asked questions like can he get a higher-paying job and even asked if she know what is IQ was. She couldn’t admit all she cared about was how handsome he was. All that blond curly hair and those tepid blue eyes compensated for a deficiency in the brains department.
She did wonder what would happen if they had children. But, she theorized that her higher IQ would compensate for his and the kids would be smart. About him finding a better paying job, that was something they could work on later. She didn’t want to plan that far ahead. They went on to a furniture store.
Today she was focusing on the massive carved bed she wanted. She steered him away from the modern uninteresting furniture he was drawn to. Maybe she would have been content to sleep with him in a loft bed, but she was still getting her king-sized sleigh bed. Sleeping in a loft bed would be very romantic at first though. No, those were for children she thought.
The led him over to the bed she wanted. Although they couldn’t afford the whole set, the salesman said it was open stock. She could get the chest, dresser and two night stands later on. She wasn’t so sure they’d be available in six months as he said, but they ordered the bed and arranged delivery.
Back at the jewelry store, she looked over the rings again. They asked the salesman if he could point out the most masculine wedding bands for men. She urged her fiance to tell her what he thought of them. He agreed these were more appropriate for him although they were similar to all the others they had looked at. He picked one out, she was relieved and wouldn’t have criticized it if it had been ugly. They paid for it and headed for home.
