a good husband

Tonight when my husband came home from work he was full of one-word answers. "How was your day?" I asked. "Fine," he said. "Did you eat yet?" I asked. "Yes," he said. His day off is Tuesday. "What do you want to do tomorrow?" I asked. "What do you want to do?" he responded. "Let's get the tree!" I said. "Sure," he responded. After a while of this, I asked him "Are you sick of me, mad at me, or bored to death?" and he said, "What's that supposed to mean?" And I said, "You have an attitude." He said, "I don't have an attitude." HE DID, HE DID, HE DID HAVE AN ATTITUDE. "I'm going to watch football," he said. He disappeared to his zone in front of the TV. A half hour later, he emerged. "What made you ask those questions?" he asked. I said, "Well, honey, you were acting weird." He said, "I love you. I'm not sick of you. I'm not mad." Then we went on to discuss how much reassurance I need. And how he was there to reassure me. He could have just ignored me, or told me I was being ridiculous. But he didn't. He met my needs. Now that's a good husband!

Sigh. Sigh of solidarity. Sigh of quiet joy for you. Just a nice sigh.

I am so happy to say I have an absolutely wonderful, God-loving, sexy, handsome 50 year old husband who loves me and I love him with a passion!!! We are total opposites in many ways--but his strengths are my weaknesses and vice versa. That's the balance of the realtionship. I thank God every day for him. I'm also glad I married my first husband so I can truly appreciate who I have now!!! Peace & Blessings, Beverly Mahone Author, Whatever!

Let me let you in on a secret...I would've never given him a second look 10 years ago. He wouldn't have been my type. Too conservative---too quiet---too easy going---too bottom line....I, on the other hand, am the total opposite. What I've come to realize is, as I've grown older that's the kind of BALANCE I need in my life. (My ex was just like me---very hyper--all over the place) When I'm over the edge, my new husband reins me back in and points me back in the right direction. He supports me without challenging my ideas. He makes me THINK about what I'm doing but once my mind is made up that I'm going to do it--he jumps right in and gives me the support I need to persevere. Clone him--NEVER--I need a one of a kind man for a one of a kind woman Peace & Blessings, Beverly Mahone Author, Whatever!
