The Mrs and Her Mr

I had a lovely little three-way with The Mrs. and her Boy last night. Hang on, let me rephrase that. I had a lovely little three-way conversation with The Mrs. and her Boy last night. We made a joke of this. It was lovely to catch-up with The Mrs, having not spoken to her properly since Sunday and having missed her calls the night before because of my early night. We had a laugh at the fact that all her most recent exes have called her this week, laughing in particular at one of them, whose bizarre relationship antics inspired their own swear-word during the course of the conversation, but shall remain unsaid in this domain (I get embarrassed even hearing about them second-hand, so goodness knows how The Mrs. feels, since she was actually there). We chatted and because her Boy was in bed next to her, he chipped in his comments in the background, randomly suggesting good names for bands, which all seemed to revolve around the combination of an adjective followed by a fruit or vegetable. They would giggle together and I joked that I felt like I shouldn’t be here, but it was actually really cute. They are a really nice couple. I like how at ease they seem with each other, and how comfortable that makes me feel around them. I like that The Mrs is exactly who she really is around him and that he gets her. I like that they have the same random sense of humour. I am really rather chuffed for her, despite her insistence that he is still going to cheat on her, amongst other fears and insecurities (not all necessarily irrational or completely unfounded, just a little more pronounced than they should be), which I think are slowly subsiding over time. Sort of. As a couple, they remind me a little of Head Sister and her fella: really well-suited, very fond of each other and both extremely likeable and good fun.

If she can overcome her fears and anxieties about what could go wrong, I think The Mrs. could finally in a relationship that she could be content in (I hope). And about time, too! She deserves it. But helping her to actually believe that is the problem.
