"I think Tom and I's relationship is getting stale," you complained while you stirred your coffee.

Your best friend stared from across the table in some state of disbelief.

"I don't buy that," she replied, "the two of you are always trying new things."

You grumbled as you picked at the blueberry scone on the plate. You let the crumbs coat your fingers as you thought about the first year of your relationship with Tom. The start had been thrilling and adventurous. The two of you had met at a BAFTA event. Tom looked devastatingly handsome in his single-breasted tux. The beginnings of his now full beard just starting to show themselves.

The two of you had wined and dined those first several months, whether at restaurants or at your respective homes. But all that faded into the background, once you moved in with Tom. Fancy suits and pretty dresses had given way to threadbare shirts and workout clothes. "Well, I think the honeymoon phase is over. Most nights are TV on the couch and snoring in the bedroom. He doesn't even try anymore."

"How do you mean?"

"Well... when we first got together, we both put such effort in our appearance. But now, I'm lucky if he is wearing pants without holes in them!"

"Maybe he is trying to tell you something," your friend replied with a wink, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, that he needs new clothes! I swear Tom will wear something into the ground and just wish he would put more of an effort sometimes. it is like I am dating a hobo and not a world class actor."

"Trying telling him that."

Your eyes lit up as an idea popped into your head.

"I have an even better idea!"

You paid the bill as you said your goodbyes. Your best friend noticed that glint in your eyes. Your ideas rarely worked out. She just hoped you didn't anything too stupid or crazy. But there was no use in trying to stop you.

As soon as you got home, you rushed into your shared closet. Instead of telling Tom you wanted he dress nicer, you thought you just show him. Tom was out of town for a few days, completing some reshoots on his most recent project. Just enough time to put your plan into action. First off, you grabbed all the jeans from his side, throwing them on the bed. Carefully examining each pair, you threw out any pairs with any holes. That left about three pairs. You repeated the process with his sweaters and shirts.

Once done, you turned to the dresser. The workout clothes were the worst. Nearly everything had stains, holes, or rips. There was only one outfit worth keeping. You realized you would need to replace much of Tom's wardrobe. But first you needed to get rid of the old clothes to prevent their re-entry into Tom's wardrobe rotation. It took several bags and three trips to the dumpster. Just as you shut the door, the phone rang. It was Tom.
