Happy Friday, everybody! A family member sent me this story, and since I love anything that makes me laugh out loud, I decided to share it in lieu of a personal post. Thanks, Aunt Fern, for submitting my first guest blog (even inadvertently! :)
For anyone who’s been married for longer than, say, a week, this is for you. (And if you try to tell us you don’t identify with this at all, I would respectfully submit that you’re LYING, or your husband reads your emails…)
APOLOGY LETTER TO SPOUSE: PRICELESS
“Hi Sweetheart,
I’m sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights. I guess sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something. I realize I was wrong, and I’m apologizing for being such a jerk. All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season. Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights! I took the time to hang the lights for you today. Now I’m off to the hockey rink.
Again, I’m very sorry for the way I acted yesterday. Home soon.
Love you…”
HER RESPONSE:
“Hi Honey,
Thank you for that heartfelt apology. I don’t often get an apology from you, and I truly appreciate it. I, too, felt bad about our argument, and wanted to apologize to you. I realize I can sometimes be a bit pushy. I will try to respect your feelings from now on. Thank you for taking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me. It really means a lot. In the spirit of giving, I washed your truck for you. Now I’m off to the mall.
Love you too!”
Have a great weekend!!
Oh Vikki this was great and yes being married for almost 7 years I could relate and loved how it ended!! Seriously, my husband has a hard time saying he is sorry and always has. Only wish we had a swimming pool now, lol!!!
I agree, Janine! I like this woman’s style (and I’ll bet their marriage is fun!)
This was great! What Christmas spirit! ;)
I loved this too, Rachael! Laughed while I was typing, but I have issues… :)
Too funny!
Thanks, Kate! Don’t know why, but this cracked me up!
Freakin’ hilarious! Love it. Fun guest post stuff, too. I’ve been married ten, going on eleven years. HA!
Thanks, Cyndi! Loved that you stopped by! :)
Ha! I was thinking I would show the apology letter to my hubby as a tutorial…then I saw the picture…great post!
Lol! That was awesome! Very funny!
Vikki, this was fantastic. Hubby learned a LONG time ago, not to push me cuz, as he says, “mess with the bull and you’ll get the horns.” He’s got the battle scares to prove it.
Loved, loved, loved!
Funny stuff Vikki, but I don’t get it…I am always willing to say “I’m sorry” when I know that I’ve been wrong. The really sad part is that I haven’t had an occassion to say it since getting married 7 years ago because…well simply because I’m never wrong :p
This is too funny…I love the pic!
Thanks, everybody! I love that you thought this was as funny as I did. Stephanie, cut and paste the letter only. We won’t tell! Kate, thanks for commenting…Makes my day! Steve, I totally understand. Apology letter are for SPOUSES, not us! Pete, thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you again on my blog!
Terrye, Love seeing you on Laugh Lines! Thanks for commenting! :)
LOL. The picture is perfect. I’m such a dork…I just buy new lights each year. It’s a waste I know but I can’t stand untangling and wrangling with them.
I’m with you, Julie. They’re on sale everywhere right after Thanksgiving (and shouldn’t be up until then anyway), so toss ’em and buy new. No stress! :)
