Moments in life

Does everyone know that scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere and Julia Roberts are lying in bed together and she opens up her heart about her troubled life into hooker-ville and Richard Gere simply replies with:

"I think you, are a bright, beautiful and very special person" and its just terribly romantic because all week he's been a closed book and no-one really understands why he's paid Julia Roberts to stay with him and its obvious he's falling in love with her?

Well I did not have a moment like that  last night. No, while I'm literally about to fall asleep my boyfriend turns to me and says "Charlotte...So shall we go with First Direct for the joint account?" Then when I only mumble something back has a go at me for not taking "an active interest in our finances". Oh dear.

I will be taking an active interest in our finances, I am going to try my hardest. However while I will be trying my best to take an interest in something that frankly I find about as interesting as watching paint dry. I fear that my boyfriend will not be taking an active interest in romantic situations for us to experience now we are going to be living together. While I understand our weeks will not be spent on private chartered planes taking us to the opera and polo matches, is it so wrong to want "date night"? Which I am reliably informed is an essential component of living with the other sex. My boyfriend isn't totally convinced but he is a work in progress.

Right I am off to research bank accounts. Maybe if I show an "active interest" in researching bank accounts I can guilt on that he needs to do something for me.

I might even find bank accounts interesting and then maybe thats what we'll do on date night - research investments together

Have a good Tuesday
