One of my sweetheart man’s most remarkable traits is detailed below.

27. My sweetheart man can drive although he suffers from temporary blindness.

Last weekend, my sweetheart man and I took turns at driving. We went everywhere, exploring and talking, enjoying each other’s company.

As we were driving past a certain road, I spied a series of signs propped up along the side of the road, one after the other. To be exact, there were 11 signs in the series, advertising a well-known jewelry store that was going out of business.

He and I were having one of our infamous weekend conversations that went along the lines of:

What do you want to do?

I don’t know, what do you want to do?

I want to do whatever you want to do, what would that be, dear?

At this moment, I spied the series of signs about the jewelry store. I know that my guy appreciates fine jewelry as do I, and we love to shop for it and compare prices.

_{He has also been hinting about wanting to know my ring preferences, as if I don’t know what THAT means?!}

We could go to Friedman’s in the mall right here. I hear they’re having a huge going out of business sale, I suggest, as we are parked in traffic next to this stream of signs along the side of the road.

He is looking out the window steadily in the same direction as the signs.

Oh really? I had not heard that, he remarks.

I take his reaction as coyness, and so I continue in this vein.

Oh yes, humongous sale, 75% off. Once in a lifetime, sounds like to me, what do you think?

Huh, he responds. I hadn’t heard any authority on that, he says, as if he doubts my truthfulness. His eyes don’t veer away from the signs that are curbside right beside our car that is stuck in traffic.

Then, traffic clears, and I fall silent. I am annoyed at him and bite my lip. A lot of unpleasant thoughts are swirling around in my head, but thankfully I have learned that in life, as in love, it is better to speak slowly and forgive quickly.

Eventually, we got this potentially disastrous misunderstanding worked out before unpleasantries became verbally exchanged.

My conclusion? My sweetheart man functions remarkably well in a sighted society, considering that he suffers from unpredictable temporary blindness!
