Re: IHO Bowie's post - your SO
It WAS hers, and I thought it was hilarious!
Because that is such a hardship.
Our anniversary is Saturday so.. These things have been on my mind a lot as of late.
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.."
My husband is extremely honest. Some people are put off by it, but I know I can trust him with everything he says. He isn't mean or harsh by any means, but he says what he means and means what he says. If he says I'll be home in 10 minutes, he's closing the door in 9.
If I have a big day or whatever he makes sure to fill up the tank (which he pumps anyways almost always) but he checks everything. Tire pressure, my tissue box. He's very thoughtful about things like that.
He texts or calls me for just random thoughts which can be annoying for someone who has zero filter and just speaks as he thinks. But usually it's the single thing that helps me get through a rough part of my day. They always seem to come when I'm banging my head against the wall. Today he text me this, "I miss you. You really are a dream, I love you so much."
The other day at an open house he was talking to a teacher about the kids and he said something like, "Oh that's all my wife. Every ounce of amazing came from her. I'm the left overs. Like her ability to lift heavy things and colorblindness."
He funny, sweet and strong. He's a moral boy scout. And sexy as Hell.
HAHAHAHA. Super lurker here to say don't forget about the speed bumps. Babies fall out that way too.
There are. Don't you dare settle for anything less.
DH wants to be around me a lot. As PP said, he has his own interests, he just likes when I'm there for the small everyday stuff like making dinner or errands. He finds a way to be in the same room as me whenever possible. I love that.
He scooches his pillow close to mine while he sleeps. I wake up and our pillows are overlapping, and the bed just looks like two people who love each other sleep there. Sometimes when he wakes from a sound sleep his first words are "love you, baby."
When I tell him that I had a bad day at work, he has a glass of wine or hot chocolate waiting, and in the winter he sometimes builds a fire too, because he knows it soothes me.
He's generally very physically and verbally affectionate. Lots of hand-holding, silly jokes, buying my favorite foods at the grocery store, telling me how much he loves me, etc.
He thinks I'm cute when I'm angry, which is more or less the foundation of our marriage's success.
When I got a terrible haircut recently, he insisted that it looked great and that I should give it a chance. He never wanted me to cut it in the first place, but he went right into "I love you however you look and you're beautiful so you still look great" mode. I LOVE him for that.
