Hmm… I agree. Sometimes I just want to sit and watch TV with my SigO, but he always bugs me to "do something." That's why I always find it hard to ask him out. Because if I tell him that I just want to sit and have a conversation with him or maybe walk around the park, he'll always retort, "That's it? But what are we going to DO?" XD

I think the problem is that we're not big planners! We both kind of go with the flow on those nights off, and when the flow ain't flowing… the pressure is on.

I would love to see what E would plan for you guys to do one night. Having opposite schedules is tough, I'm glad you guys figure out how to make it work

Ha, ha. I could have written this post myself. My husband is a musician and I'm in the restaurant industry so our only full day off together is Sunday. We kind of have a rule of no gigs on Sunday unless the money is ridiculous. Every Sunday we have great intentions of getting up early and DOING something. We usually end up laying on the couch watching Law and Order SVU marathons and the DVR. He was gone touring for 8 months this year and I can't tell you how much I would have paid to have one of those Sundays back. Sometimes just being is just as important as anything else in a relationship. My recent post Things that make you smile...

Oh, some nights he does! A few weeks ago I thought we had nothing planned and showed up at his house in jeans and an old-ish sweater, and he had flowers for me and plans to take me out for yummy yummy Greek food.
Of course, when we came home we had to watch 800 football games to check out his fantasy team, but whatever.

It also helps that it's really nothing new for us to deal with – this has been our situation since Day One. He'll never be a 9-5er, and I don't plan on waitressing ever again.

I'm starting to wonder if he read that post, because last night he didn't want to do anything. No bar, no calling friends, just on the couch with the TV on something we weren't watching. Which is kind of creepy since he doesn't even know my URL. My recent post Does it always have to be a production?

My favorite times with my husband are when we are just sitting around, eating, and watching TV. It's so nice to just BE together.

Hehehe….love the time w/ other half that includes doing nothing, but often turns into “something” anyway.

It sounds like you guys are making the best of a rough schedule for “couple time”.
