I've bounced around this idea for a while. While I've been working on a review blog for the last couple of years, there are many times when I have something on my mind that is solely marriage or relationship related. And while my husband is my closest friend, I couldn't possibly hash out with him every little thing that irked or bothered me or it would be a non-stop nagfest around here. And while we're on the subject- am I the only one who hates that word? Ok, maybe not nagging, but picking. I could pick apart a fluffy little kitten if I thought I saw a flea egg. But that's a topic for another day.
So in the hopes of getting along, I tend to twist a little humor into our interactions. It's much easier to laugh off something that bothers me rather than blatantly open up about it, only to get the feeling that I'm making a big deal out of nothing or over-reacting. The worst alternative to hearing these things; feeling intuitively that your husband is thinking that you are being a beeyotch or complaining all the time. Not that he would admit these thoughts...
I was blessed to find a very patient, kind & loving man to marry. While I had certainly found some frogs on the way, there were some "nice-guys" too, but nothing like I had ever experienced before meeting and marrying this one. My family, I am quite sure; likes him more than they do me. You would too - it's hard not to be hopelessly in love with someone that seems to always have a smile on his face, help every person he can, and give you not only what you want, but what you wouldn't even say you want before and while you try to refuse. Words don't seem to help truly paint a picture of the kind of generosity and happiness that is the light around this guy's head. Yet I could just hit him with his own halo sometimes.
