He Always



I watched something happen tonight that really makes me appreciate my husband.  Hubby, a friend and I were sitting around last evening awaiting my brother to come from work and my friend's husband to come home from a fishing trip. Her husband had left at 4:30 am.   It was now 8:00 pm, he walked in the door, right past his wife and started talking to my brother about the fishing trip.  He completely ignored his wife.  I commented to her and she told me that's what happens after 31 years.  I said no, my hubby is not like that.  She told me she noticed that.

 I don't think I always deserve or appreciate his loving care and touches but I'm glad it's there. He always greets me when he returns from somewhere, he rarely passes me without a loving touch.  He is  always holding doors and chairs, opening car door and anything else.  He always compliments me on how I look, always concerned if I am even slightly unwell, always asking if there is anything I need or he can do for me.  


He shows his love for me in hundreds of every day occurrences every single day of the year.

 He always loves me even when I don't love myself.  How lucky am I?

See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.

      I felt bad for her too, especially when I heard the wistful tone in her voice when she told me she noticed.

    *Smiles* This is lovely Sunny, although I too do feel sorry for your friend and I'm not surprised she noticed how he treats you.

    You are a lucky lady and I bet you make him feel the same way :) How wonderful that he shows his love you for like that. I feel very lucky with my man too and I think it's important to recognise these loving acts and let them know we appreciate them.

    Hugs,
    Roz

      It is important to recognize and I wish I would do it a little more often to let him know how important he is to me.

    You're lucky Sunny, but so is he.
    Lisa and I have made this into our greet & kiss rule. We already always did that, so the rule does not actually say that you have to kiss and greet, no the rule ensures that you are always welcome to do it.
    I've seen marriages without kisses, without attention. Cannot imagine to live that way.
    Hugs,
    Bas

    It looks like to thank me that you hit the jackpot Sunnygirl.
    I suspect that he brags about you to yes.?

      Don't I know it. Right after he read he swatted me with the paint stick and I told him I was going to take it back. He said he would get on and tell everybody how much I deserved it and more. lol

    What you have it so special. You like each other as well as love each other. I wonder if your friend mentioned it to her husband if anything would change. People do often forget the little things, sometimes just reminding them helps. Might be worth a try.

      Yes, the friendship is so important. It's what you have with Nick and it makes such a difference over the long haul.

      I don't know if she mentioned it to him. I didn't want to make her feel any worse than she did. It had to be embarrassing especially since I mentioned it.

  15. DelFonteApril 3, 2013 at 9:17 AM

    You are both lucky. Don't take each other for granted, who knows what's around the corner. I have a friend who is similarly treated, as in ignored, and I'm glad mine always acknowledges me and I him.

    SG,

    What you have is special.

    It is a shame about your friend but there are two in a relationship and you both have to make it work.

    Love,
    Ronnie

    Very lucky to be so loved and treasured by the man in your life. It's sad that the friend doesn't share the same intimacy with her husband.

    That you love him crazy is so evident in everything you write about him. He must be a heck of a man, Sunny. It is so nice to read about true love.

    It's a sad thing that so many people think that kind of treatment in a long term relationship is normal. Thank goodness there are couple like you and your hubby to show a better example. Good for you both :)

    Wow. Something I don't even think about is that important. Dragon kisses me every day as soon as he walks in the door. It bothers me when I see other couples who don't.

    I guess we both have extraordinary men. :)
