The Good Stuff

At the requested of one of our devoted readers, I officially dedicate this blog entry to my spouse, Super Husband (Click here to read more.)

After one horror-show marriage, I’ve been lucky enough to land one of the few decent guys out there. Truly, Super Husband treats me like a queen. Although I am usually shocked and perplex by his kind, considerate, doting behaviors, they have grown on me and I have actually come to enjoy them.

Seriously, how the heck can you complain when your husband refills your seltzer all day while you work in the home office, or brings in a home-cooked dinner? How can you complain when he goes out in the freezing cold and sets up your complicated Christmas lights, or drives your kid to and from a Yi-Gi-Oh tournament half an hour away? And how can you even think about complaining when he shows up at the door with a kayak for you, just because he knows you’ve always wanted one? The answer? You can’t complain; there’s nothing to complain about.

According to Super Husband, I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Sadly, he was used and abuse by a couple of ex girlfriends; from drinking excessively to cheating, they loved to make him miserable. According to him, I’m an incredible breath of fresh air that’s made his life a great place. I personally think he’s crazy because I’m not even remotely close to being that spectacular, but hey, he says that’s how he feels.

So how does one handle this situation? After a previous marriage filled with anger, pain, sadness, disappointment, and mistreatment, what do you do the second time around when your second husband treats you wonderfully? You sit back and enjoy. You then make sure your husband feels loved and appreciated. Why? Because he deserves it. I can only hope that I deserve all of the love, kindness, time, and attention he gives me.
