10 unspoken promises behind every happy relationship

29/07/2015 by Charlotte Leave a Comment

Wedding vows that go without saying

1. I promise that if you stay out later than you said you would, I will not be a dick about it because I am your wife and not your mother (as long as you text me to let me know you’re alive because you know how I worry).

2. I promise not to get cross if you lose your keys because one day I will lose mine and I will NOT thank you for your backchat.

3. I promise to take all anecdotes about run-ins you’ve had with customer service representatives seriously.

4. I promise to tell you if an outfit makes you look bad, mad, or like you’ve accidentally left the house wearing your pyjamas because it is my duty to play a full and active role in keeping this couple looking its most handsome.

5. I promise to let you use my shoulder as a pillow whenever and wherever you need to rest your head (although comments about it being too boney to really get comfortable will not be welcomed).

6. I promise that if we are ever in a social situation and I notice that you have food on your face or in your teeth, I will do whatever it takes to let you know – mime, text messaging, writing in the sky, anything.

7. I promise that if you say TAKEAWAY? I’ll say YES.

8. I promise to always be available to help you rationalise not going to the gym so that you can stay in to eat sweets and watch Ace Ventura/Wayne’s World/Beethoven’s 2nd. In this endeavour, you will always have my unwavering support.

9. I promise to remember that the person you become when our Wi-Fi connection is broken is not who you really are.

10. I promise to reassure you when you wake in the middle of the night, sit up, and start talking to yourself about how you’re going to FIGHT EVERYONE as soon as you work out how to take off this costume made of jelly, that no you’re not, you’re just dreaming, now let’s lie down and go back to sleep.

We had 90 minutes on a train to ourselves this aft We had 90 minutes on a train to ourselves this afternoon before returning to parenting reality. Leon used it to sleep off the birthday excitement, I used it to publish a new blog to my Substack 🙌 It's about overloaded phone memory, motherhood nostalgia and figuring out what to do with the 3 billion pictures I've taken of our children ❤️ You can find it at the link in my bio - and massive thanks to everyone who has subscribed, really means a lot! 💖

Hello friends, 12.5 years into blog writing life I Hello friends, 12.5 years into blog writing life I've decided to make a change and move over to Substack. It's where all the kids are blogging these days so I thought I'd join the party. I've also decided to give it a different name, so I'm here to introduce 'While I've got you', which will basically be exactly the same as Nothing good rhymes with Charlotte, just renamed. (I explain the reasons behind the name in my first post. New link in bio ⭐️). 

I have so much love and affection for my original blog, but feel it's time for a shift into the 2024 way of doing things. (I have also carried several NGRWC posts over with me anyway so it already feels like home). So expect the same vibe, style and story types, just in a new place.

And a major Substack bonus is that it's much easier for people to subscribe to receive new posts via email, so if you'd like to, please do! I would very much appreciate it. ❤️

I look forward to throwing lots more thoughts and feelings onto the page and out into the world 💖 Much love xx
Smiling because we were together and out of the ho Smiling because we were together and out of the house and getting some much-needed fresh air - and also because we'd managed not to fall out of the tyre swing which felt very close to happening several times ❤️❤️

Our incredible daughter turned SIX this week 💖 Our incredible daughter turned SIX this week 💖 How so much time has managed to pass since that baby arrived I do not know (and yes I will say that every year).

I had more emotions that I could fit into her card, so I've written a blog about some of the things she's taught me, which you can find at the link in my bio. 

We love you, Isla ❤️
