What didn't occur to me was that Hubby would be "exposed" to all of DC's finest female eye candy. The professional women that go to work dressed to the nines and the not-so-professional women who hang out downtown scantily clad. I asked him about it this morning and he said that the eye candy now that he works in town is "definitely better!" And of course he laughed and so did I. But while it never even crossed my mind to worry about the possibility of his eyes wandering before, and he's never given me any reason to fret, it's a concern at the back of my mind now! I may need to step up my wardrobe game...and schedule some of those lunch dates, quick fast and in a hurry!

A Strange Kind of Paranoia
Since we've been married, my hubby has worked in somewhat remote, secluded locations as a contractor for the federal government. He would drive to work and drive home, spending his entire day in compund-like surroundings with other engineer-types. Bo-ring. A couple of months ago, he started a new job and this time the client where he is placed, is located smack in the middle of downtown. Hubby was so excited to start his new gig because he would finally be surrounded by normal restaurants! and shops! and a plethora of cosmopolitan people! He would also be within walking distance to my office and so, in addition to our morning and evening commute, we had visions of going on lunch dates together.

The professional women that go to work dressed to the nines and the not-so-professional women who hang out downtown scantily clad.

Don't be too paradiod but definitely schedule some lunch dates. They're the best!!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO funny because as an engineer I have found myself in the same place as your hubby. I have always been confined to places like Rome, NY or PAris, TX. SO imagine how much of a visual overload I had when I started working in DC! Oh the men you will see! hahaha But no worries, it'll get old and annoying soon enough like it has for me:)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a little eye candy to spark a little fire in the marriage. Thanks for this post and reminding me that I need to step my game up also!
ReplyDeleteJust let him know that he can look all he wants but that goes both ways. You'll be fine because you are!!
ReplyDeleteQuick and in a hurry. lol
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should take a page here too. I hate feeling dowdy.
