Thoughtfulness and Practical Gestures (whatever that means)

My wife would normally hug me and kiss me right after she wakes up. Then she will do it again after she comes out of the bathroom. It's her morning ritual. On the otherhand, I find it uncomfortable because I like to sleep and hoping that such gestures can be scheduled accordingly (I see it, then, as a practical gesture than thoughtfulness). My reaction to this is to stay in bed longer (enough not to be late at the office) and forget about her taking the car with me.

Just this morning, on our way to JRC, we touched the topic. I found out that she just likes doing her morning ritual. I clarified to her that I find it uncomfortable, and I am not used to it. Of course, she doesn't care; I had to clarify it that it's not annoying (otherwise, she would've made her day again in my expense).

In the end, I realized that she really needs support nowadays due to her pregnancy. Kaya sinisingil ko na lang siya ng gas para sa sasakyan. hehehe! I am not complaining, and I really think it's the right thing to do. I also told her that sometimes somebody have to remind me because I grew up without a wife!
