Original Reddit post

So my husband was telling me about a change in his job (military) and how he has to work night shift and do some complicated things. I asked him how he felt about it; did he find the change interesting or did he dread it? Did it suck? He told me it sucks and he’d rather be doing what he was initially trained and expecting to do. Also he hates how he has to be so far away from me for this (he had to move to another state for a month). I then asked him how I could ease his suffering and make him feel better, because it breaks my heart to see my darling man endure a job that sucks and feel lonely. I want to make him feel better. He works so hard and sacrifices so much for our family. 🥺 He replied with one word. “Boobies.” ??? Men, how are my boobies supposed to make my husband feel better about his sucky night shift military job? They do absolutely nothing of significance. How exactly are they helping? I’d get it if he wanted to talk or vent about his feelings, or if he wanted me to mail him his favorite snacks and trinkets, or play some online games together during his free time… Anything other than just “boobies”, really. Regardless, I sent him a picture of my boobies, and he lit up like the 4th of July. He was so happy and grateful. Suddenly, everything is all better? How? He still has to do the sucky job though! What did my boobies do?? Why is it enough?? How are they helping?? I need to understand. Sincerely, A confused and concerned wife. submitted by /u/Eli_Yanah
