A while back I was having tea with a mom from Boy1's school. We were talking about kids, of course. P mentioned that despite the fact that her husband worked long hours and didn't get to spend a lot of time with their two girls, they still insisted on an early bedtime. She gave a few reasons and then whispered the most important.
"To be honest, S and I just want to have our evenings to ourselves. I'm completely fusionelle with my husband."
Fusionel is a hard word to translate - it's something like REALLY close, fusion-like, coalescent, merging, in a non-sexual way. You get the picture.
When my darling spouse came home for lunch, we chatted about our mornings (actually I chatted and he muttered) and I mentioned having had tea with P. Then I relayed the fusionel comment, wrapped my arms around him, and said how I would love to be fusionelle him.
My sweet husband smiled a rueful smile and said, "Ma pauvre chérie, je suis fusionel avec la télévision." (My poor sweetheart, I'm fusionel with the tv.)
Nice.

That bitch. She's been seeing The Spouse, too!
My husbands mistress would be his work - it's always on his mind and on the laptop! At least you two can watch the tv together!
My wife would say I have at least 4 work, cycling, basket ball, and TV!!!
Zeb - how is it she hasn't left you yet?
Beth - while we may be together in the same room, I can promise you my presence is barely noticed when the tv is on (which is ALL of the time)...
My charm!!!!!!!!
