Since we are reminiscing, I figured I ought to share a flashback of my own. Cue the music and the hazy visual!
As I tore of the packing and slipped the shiny and new Mrs. Bhojwani out of the cardboard and cellophane box, I couldn’t help but reminisce about our wooing period. I recalled how Mrs. Bhojwani, who was never too familiar with the kitchen and literally burned the toast on one occasion. No seriously, there were flames coming out of the toaster and she was trying to blow it out only with the air in her lungs! Despite this almost calamity, she often attempted to concoct some edible combination of meat and veggies for me and even enlisted the expertise of her mother. At the end of it all, the results were superb! Things were so sweet that I decided to get down on one knee and propose! As the story goes, we got married.
Fast forward a month after the marriage and I’m getting fed an entirely different kind of meal by my doll of a wife.
As I slumber in to the early hours of the morning, my wife who too snoozes beside me has fallen victim to the affliction known by professionals as ‘Sleep-Slapping’. What this means is that while I am lost in a deep state of sleep, my wife, who too is sleeping, resorts to slapping me! Yes, she slaps me while we are both sleeping.
Marriage Tip 13:
Marital abuse transcends boundaries and prevails in the realm of the unconscious!
Welcome to our subconscious marriage
