How does a cough impact family dynamics?
Welcome back to The Toast and happy Thursday. That should be cause to celebrate, latter half energy. But something major has happened in my life. I don't even know if I've told you about this, Jax. Hey, Jax, how you doing?
I'm doing good. What's happened that could mess with this Thursday energy?
My husband has a cough. Oh. The marital bed has become a sort of personal hellscape. The cough is actually ruining my family. It's ruining my life. The cough woke me up in the middle of the night. It sounded like a high-pitched screech. And then I was up for two hours just chilling.
I cannot with you guys. I seriously cannot. First of all, I think much like other women. Don't say you guys. No, no, no. Because it's like he does something that he's so wrong for. He's impossibly wrong. Like you're coughing in my house. Like you're screaming. You're screaming about everything. I didn't scream. So crazy. It's the time in your pregnancy where you and your husband need separate bedrooms. Or a noir husband.
I did chat with him this morning about leaving the marital bed. And what that means for our future. Now he was... absolutely like absolutely devastated he was shocked to hear me say that i'm like you are supposed to be my partner in all of this right and you are now actively like an obstacle in my rest and the rest of your child the baby was kicking all night the baby was very disturbed by what was going on in my home sick he said is that a cough yucky that's what the baby said to me in the middle of the night so i told ben i'm like listen you are no longer helping you're hurting
You're no longer welcome.
It's time for you to leave the marital bed. And once he heard that, he's been sucking on lozenges and honey and tea all morning. Because one thing about Ben, he loves our bed. Literally, I don't care. We are not the type of couple who really ever sleeps in separate beds. For good reasons or bad. If we have a fight, sorry, we're sleeping in the same bed. We both love our bed so much. If Ben has to wake up really early, he won't sleep in the guest room. We don't fuck with the guest room. We love our bed. It's a foreign concept to you.
But you do have a pull-out couch. I do. It's really beautiful. And I think it's time. It's disturbing your sleep. This is a very normal thing that happens. It's time. We can't go through this every night. Here comes goodbye. My God, we have a story today by way of Rascal Flatts that I am quaking in my boots.
What is the Rascal Flatts Refueled Duets album?
I have a lot of thoughts on it too as well. With love. With love, rascal. With love, rascal. You look so cute. That set that you're wearing, I actually ordered.
And you ordered it a while ago because I wore this like a few weeks ago.
Yeah, I don't know if you saw, I've been wearing the pants quite a lot because they fit. No, I didn't see. The cardigan is small. Snug. It's a snug cardigan. When I got it, I was like, oh my God, I'm a wildebeest. This doesn't even close. Yeah, no, it's actually a sweater that makes you want to kill yourself.
No, but when you look at the model, like it's super, it's meant to be like. Cinched. Cinched and like tight and worn high and it's fucking weird.
It's certainly not for me during this time in my life, but I did hold on to it. Mostly like I've been, I haven't shopped at all. And if anything doesn't even remotely make me feel good, I throw it right back in the box. But I don't know. I thought that this particular cardigan would be an emblem of hope and optimism for the future. It's not. Why?
This cardigan? Yeah, like one day. No, because it's not even about that you're pregnant. It's the way that the cardigan is.
No, Jackie, it's an emblem of the future. You need a better emblem, I'm telling you. I actually have a closet full of emblems. I don't know why I decided to keep this one. But I look at it every day and I say, you are my future.
