Appease (ah-peez): to try to smile when your wife constantly wants a picture of you for her blog.

Appeasing doesn’t last very long:

My observant husband

Last weekend, after horse back riding, my husband took me to a cute little cafe in the village of Chelmsford. We sat outside on the patio and drank mojitos and ate brazilian seafood stew. So he looks at me, from the across the table, and says, “Those rings are really pretty.”

Huh? My wedding rings? The ones YOU designed and had custom made? The ones I’ve worn for 4 + years? Yes, he said, he doesn’t look at them as often as I do.
