What about the rest of the time?
Honey, how was your day?
Uhhh…nothing happened.
We think of lifetimes as mostly the exceptional and sorrows. Marriage we remember as the children,vacations, and emergencies. The uncommon parts.

We think of lifetimes as mostly the exceptional and sorrows. Marriage we remember as the children,vacations, and emergencies. The uncommon parts.But the best is often when nothing is happening.The way a mother picks up the child almost withoutnoticing and carries her across Waller Streetwhile talking with the other woman. What if shecould keep all of that? “Highlights and Interstices” by Jack Gilbert

What I miss most abouther is that commonplace I can no longer remember.

ANALYSISlets tie it in
Non-verbal communicationRegister, Henley 1992
Self Disclosure, Expressive actsVetere, Gibbs 2005
Reciprocity(Vetere, Gibbs 2005; Bardzell, et al 2010)
Self Disclosure, Expressive Vetere, Gibbs 2005
I really like that [he] used interesting pictures to make me happy and cheer me up after I told him that I was not having a great time. It's much more interesting and thoughtful than to just say "I'm sorry" or "Cheer up".
Emotional(Vetere, Gibbs 2005)
I only really got to see a computer and a conference table, but it was cool to have some sense of where she spends 20 hours a week.
Self-Disclosure(Vetere, Gibbs et al 2005)
Destiny & Surprise(Register, Henley 1992),
Destiny & Surprise(Register, Henley 1992),
When I began to take pictures without being prompted, I began noticing things in the world that
she would like and actually having the thought
"I can share this with [her]"

Presence in Absence(Vetere, Gibbs et al 2005)
I'm always curious about whether people are the same personality
when they're with me as when I'm not there… I mean they could shed their skin and turn into a
lizard when you're not around.
Trust/CommitmentVetere, Gibbs 2005
I'm always curious about whether people are the same personality
when they're with me as when I'm not there… I mean they could shed
their skin and turn into a lizard when you're not around. I feel like I learned that his personality is very similar when I'm not there, which is
very comforting. I'm even more trusting of who he is and I feel even
more secure in our relationship.
