becomingkate Just more proof that my husband is dense.
I ended up on teefury.com yesterday and I found a bunch of t shirts I just love. So I sent my husband a quick facebook message just as a heads up,
"I would like about 10 different shirts on this website...so have fun with that and ask me if you need help figuring out which ones (hints: Brave, Alice, Doctor Who cards, Amy Pond, Slender Jack) www.teefury.com"
I went out later and forgot about it. Later on I thought to ask him if he got my message. "Oh yeah," he said, "I did, and none of those things you mentioned were there."
Uh, okay. I thought maybe the link didn't work, or the main page changes every day or something, so I pulled it up.
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE T SHIRTS IS NEAR THE VERY TOP.
Well, maybe I forgot to say "click on Gallery", oops. But also, Duh! If there's nothing on the front page, you look for archives, or a gallery, or a store link, right? It's not like this guy is internet illiterate. Quite the opposite.
I showed him the Brave one, and he said "Oh, I didn't know that was from Brave." Like there are so many chicks with unruly red hair, a blue dress and an archer's bow. He's seen the movie twice. I know, not that many times...but so have I!
I'm sorry, do I expect too much or did he just forget how to use his brain? I swear he's getting more dense every day, and I don't know how to confront him and make him understand that this is a serious communication issue that he needs to work on, without him getting all hurt and attacked-feeling. Every time I try to amicably do something for him or with him or tell him something funny or interesting, he's nonplussed or he doesn't get it and I feel like no connection has been made. It's so bad, that I feel this yearning, all the time, to just connect with someone. I get jealous of scenes in tv or movies where people are laughing together or when there is a sense of cameraderie or bonding or just...something. You know, human interaction. It's partially my fault, because I could go out and make friends, if I knew how. But I feel like I should have that sense of friendship with my husband, too.
I could just direct link him to everything I want, but I have this thing where I don't want to know exactly which presents I'm getting.
Seriously though, check out those shirts.
