so i'm at the gym this morning, getting dressed, and there were two women there talking. how could i not overhear them? they were talking about the rrsp commercial on tv, where the guy says to his wife, see what you got when you married me? a little of this. and he points to his head. then he proceeds to go forward in the car when he's trying to go backwards. and the women said, 'how true of our husbands!' and then they laughed. then they went on to talk about how their husbands weren't that smart.
i felt sick.
how could they speak that way about their significant other?
you know, i have a few very close friends and they are married to the best guys in the world. do you know why? because they never complain about them! as far as i can tell, their husbands are perfect. and beautiful. i never hear about how X didn't do the laundry, or how Y was trying to build something and it didn't work 'of course'. i only hear about how great their husbands are. of course the husbands make mistakes. but the wives certainly don't need to point it out. they need to just forgive and let it go.
a lot of people think i have the best husband in the world. everywhere i go i hear about how great he is. i know how great he is. but i also know his huge faults. but that doesn't mean i'm going to tell anyone about them. as far as i'm concerned, they can keep believing that my husband is a rockstar. 'cause i think he is. sure he makes me nuts. sure he screws up big time. sure he does mean things and insensitive things. but i'm not going to brag about his negatives. just his pluses.
so if you really look at a woman's husband, the way she talks about him, building him up; you can see why she married him. why he's such a good catch. i know my close girls have great catches. i see their beauty and amazing personalities all the time. because their wives put that light under them. and show them off.
why can't more women do that?
let's give credit to our men. they deserve the best from us.
love you rockstar husband.
