Hi Everyone out there!
This is the first time I am writing directly on this blog. I think, for my “Hubby”, I have made his day and also made a small, but significant, dream of his come true! 😉
Although I haven’t been writing here from me directly, I have allowed my hubby to share things I’ve written or said to him. He has also been sharing with me what he writes here and has also been showing me other people’s posts when he has been inspired by them and feels it would be relevant for me to read too.
A few days ago, he shared the following post by Anxious Mom titled Your So Lucky. What she wrote sounded exactly like it could have come from me – about how lucky I am to have such an amazing, supportive, loyal, loving, dedicated husband who loves me unconditionally and would do anything in his power to help me and make our relationship work and be strong.
He has loved the phrase “perfectly imperfect” (or is being “imperfectly perfect” actually even better?!?) ever since he first heard it and tells me and thinks I’m just that!
If you read Anxious Mom’s post, just know that everything she says is how I feel about my husband, and also describes what he does when I’m down (or up!) and, I’d just like to say, directly to him –
Hubby, I love you!
I appreciate you!
I thank you!
Lee

Wow, Wow, Wow. You have certainly made my day! Thank you. x o x o
I just want to clarify for the record, I did encourage my wife to write, but didn’t tell her ‘what to write’! 😛
Lee, I know you haven’t been feeling well the last few days, with headaches, with sleep deprivation probably being a factor… so it’s even more special that you managed to write. I really, really appreciate it.
I love you.
Now I can get back to finishing tomorrow’s Funny Friday post: Sleep Deprivation is NOT Funny.

It’s so nice to hear from you! I’m sure life is not easy for you or hubby lots of the time and I admire the way you stick by each other and work so hard to help each other out. My hubby and I have been through tons of good and sad things in our 30 plus years together, but that’s what being married is all about, right?

Thanks so much for your comment. Yes, I agree. In all those years of marriage, it is inevitable for there to be all sorts of experiences together – happy and sad, easy and difficult etc. And I think that many of the challenging times are what make us grow as individuals and as a couple. Looking back from where we are now, I am thankful for everything we have been through knowing it has given us more awareness and appreciation for each other and appreciation of the present moment we are now in.
Wow – 30+ years of marriage! We are only up to two-thirds of that. In this day and age, that’s not to be sneezed at. Wishing you continued strength to overcome any challenges and may your love, support and appreciation of each other continue to grow.

I thought your post was beautiful. You have a wonderful supportive relationship. I think that’s as it should be, but it’s not something everyone has. I have it only some of the time and I can’t imagine not having it at all. But I never want to ask for more because John (husband) already had to “deal with me” so how can I ask for more from him? Of course, in other ways, I have to deal with his “stuff” too, but his is not as complicated!
I’m so glad you posted! I hope it’s the first of many.

Hi Sandra, thanks for your comment. It means alot to us. 🙂
Our relationship is really wonderful at the moment, but it wasn’t always that way. We have been through some tough times, especially recently, but worked really hard to reconnect. Couple therapy has been helpful during some of these challenging periods and recently blogging has been a big blessing, especially for me.
Take care
Hubby.

Yes, Sandra – I couldnt have said that better myself. We did go through a lot of challenging times to get to where we are now. And couple therapy, as well as other things, have helped us a lot. And having been watching my hubby on the sidelines with all this “blogging business”, I must say, it has been a HUGE blessing.
Wishing you all the best,
Lee

To both of you – Thank you for your thoughts. I agree that blogging has helped me with certain things. Even if it’s not a blog post about anxiety or depression or anything related, it’s a place for me to focus on something I love – writing. Oh…and couples therapy? I would LOVE to go to couples therapy. I think it would be great for John and I. But I know he will view it as something done only by couples who are about to divorce. And that’s not us, so I doubt he’d agree to it. Of course, I have not asked! 🙂

One of the first things we say to a new couple therapist when asked why we’ve come – “We’re here to make a good marriage, better”. It’s a shame that so many people think of couple therapy the same as your husband. If couples got help earlier, it may prevent many divorces. Blessings to you and your husband.

Beautiful post, and your beautiful, lovely spirit shines through your words. As Sandra said before me, you have such a wonderful and supporting relationship. You are both so lucky to have each other, and I’m happy for y’all! I know it’s not always easy – but anything worth having is worth fighting for.
Hope to read more lovely posts from your perspective!

Thank you! 😀
I know my husband has been encouraging me to write for a while… I think, at least for now, its not going to be very regularly or consistently… but I’m glad to know that I can when I want to, and that there are all these supportive cyber-friends here when I do!
Thanks so much for your encouragement.

So nice to meet you Lee! Your “Hubby`Loves you dearly that much I know! I know I am never letting go of mine lol I`m pretty sure no one else can handle me! I sincerely hope you decide to write more. It`s cathartic and a source of therapy I never expected. There are many out here who share you voice…who “get it” and it feels good to share and connect and know you are surrounded by people who truly care….I know the internet is also full of trolls but that being said I have found the WordPress community to be very supportive oh and if anyone does decided to mess with you…I have my baseball bat handy so no worries 😉 Cheers! and thanks so much for sharing with us! 😀 xo

Hi Anxious Mom – Nice to meet you!
Thanks again for the spark of inspiration that got me to write my first post in the first place! I think you are right about “the right person”…. but also the right attitude is important. And also knowing that people can grow and change (for the better) in time, which can make a huge difference to weathering the storms. I know I have grown, and my husband too. Although we obviously also pulled through in the past, we are dealing with things a lot better now.
