Can’t say I didn’t try...

So my husband has been super stressed for the past month or so, and it’s just been piling and piling on him😬

Anyway...after he called me with the most recent breakdown, I decided I should try and do something special for him. Since I had the day off, I figured I would try to be sweet and surprise him when he got home!

I curled my hair (which is a SUPER rare thing from me), put on my wedding dress for the first time since our wedding, and had our speaker and the playlist from our wedding all ready to go❤️

I got it all fixed and set up with about 5 minutes to spare, and was waiting for him when he opened the door...

...at which time he said, “Aww, you look so pretty, girl. I wish I didn’t have to bowl tonight, but I need to leave.”

I don’t blame him, and it’s on me for forgetting that he bowls on Thursday. But man, guys...he left and I cried because I thought I had done something sweet for him (he’s the one that typically pulls off romantic gestures).

Have any of you all had a botched attempt at a gesture for your partners?? Just looking to swap stories because I’m really just a little down about it all😕
