Learning to be a lady

Mike and I have been married five years now. Mike is an old-fashioned Texas boy who believes in opening doors for ladies and treating me like someone special. We have a standing joke because I just have not got this waiting for him to open the door thing down. It's complicated. You have to stand in the right place so he can get to the door. We're always running into each other because I was never treated like a lady in my first marriage, so I don't know how to act. The other day, I was watching The Bird Cage when I had an epiphany. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane were walking into a building when without thought or planning, Robin opened the door for Nathan who was standing exactly on the correct side of the door. Eureka! I got it. All it took for me to know how to be treated like a lady was to watch a movie featuring two gay characters.
