Becky and I have trouble working together on anything but a trip to Costco made me feel really great today. A few times I had to stress that if Becky wanted anything she should get it, but over all she got everything that she wanted.
The real surprise came when it was time to leave. Becky won't share an umbrella or hold my hand or just about anything else that causes a couple to have to work together. At costco we had to buy an extra bag and after we put everything into it that did not fit into our bags it was heavy. Becky took it and tried to carry it herself but I insisted that I should carry it.
The bag was extremely heavy and I set it down on the moving walkway as we headed to the exit. At this point I thought about the way that Koreans carry bags like this as a pair and asked becky to try picking up one handle. She did and the bag did not seem heavy at all anymore.
Becky did not try to pull away or drop her end or make it difficult and we actually worked together at something for a change. It made me feel great that we were actually sharing something even if it was work. I am glad I went to Costco with Becky.
