"He Never Gave Me Palpitations"

"He Never Gave Me Palpitations"

My mother was not the brightest bulb in the room, but she was street smart and had a great sense of humor. When we brought her out to California from Philadelphia, I was working long hours and traveled often. That left my wife with the burden of responsibility to help her adjust to her new home. 

The burden lifted months later when my wife started to really like the old broad. They had many conversations about my mother's life. One of the conversations was about my dad. My wife laughed a lot when my mother told her: "he never gave me palpitations." 

My father and mother worked long hours. They were tired a lot. They were stressed a lot. My father was not the hugging type. As a matter of fact, I did not hug my father until I was forty. My mother was a major huger. She loved all people and hug me every chance she got. Therefore, it wasn't a big surprise to me that my father didn't give my mother palpitations.

I know my mother had great respect for my father, but my mother description, to my wife, of their love making was "slam bam thank you Mame."  My wife loved my eighty year old mother for how open and descriptive she was about her sex life. 

How about your spouse or boy/girl friend? Does she or he give you palpitations? Did they give you palpitations early on in the relationship and then the palpitations subsided? Did he or she never give you palpitations?

Speaking for myself, my wife gave me palpitations when we first met and twenty five plus years later she still gives me palpitations. 

In my opinion, having a relationship for convenience or security or just because you don't believe that palpitations with someone else is in the cards for you, sucks. Having palpitations is one of the key elements of happiness.

If it's never going to happen in your love life, at least have palpitations in your everyday life. A full moon could give you palpitations. A fantastic meal could give you palpitations. The only issue with those things is they're short lived. A loving relationship that continues to give you palpitations is what you want and deserve for your happiness.

Ask your spouse or girl/boy friend: "do I give you palpitations?" They will probably laugh at the question, but if the answer is no, both of you should find a way to get that feeling back (assuming you or he/she got them before). 

Sooo, ask yourself does he or she give me palpitations? If you answer, like my mother: "he never gave me palpitations," make sure it's not because you're just not the palpitation type. Also, if you believe he or she is just not the palpitations type, then you either should move on, love him or her just the way they are or;
