I love him.

I often, with a heavy heart, read posts from fellow CMers that complain or vent about rotten husbands, even worse ex's, and men that overall just plain suck. I wish I could hug you all because it isn't fair and I feel terrible knowing that I have it pretty damn good. Every day I am reminded that in life, I have been blessed greatly- not with riches, but with love.
My husband and I met in high school. We have been together since we were 17 and too the dismay of many, have never looked back. Why dismay? I've never understood myself. We were young... and we have never really been involved with anyone else. Why does this matter? I don't think it does, at least for us. I am not missing anything and I have everything I have ever wanted.
The man of my life is an odd soul. He is quiet and only speaks when he really feels the need. This does not mean he is silent, however, for you always know where and how you stand with him. Just because he is a man of few words, does not mean he doesn't know how to use them. In fact, quite the contrary. When he speaks, he means it and everyone knows it. We're opposites that way, I chatter all day... and he enjoys it. :-) Once he told me, "I love it when you just ramble, it is a constant nice noise."
Yup, he's a sweet talker like that. lol
In reality, he is. He always knows the best things to say. He's goofy too. Actually, he's really dorky and we've spent a million nights enjoying each other's company, just laughing and being goofy. He makes me smile and keeps me on my toes, life is never boring with him around. While others may not ever get to see this side of him, it is there and it is all mine. :-)
He's my handsome hero and a wonderful father. He could work more and move higher up, he's offered all the time. But he stays where he is because it is flexible and all the money in the world isn't as important as him being able to be home when he wants to be. We do everything together, us and the kids. We are a family and we enjoy each others company... which is how I think it should be. :-) At least until we have teenagers.
He's cute too. And smells yummy. :-)
He is my very best friend. I have no secrets from him, I have never felt beneath him or above him. We are partners. He doesn't tell me what to do, he doesn't demand anything. I do my part and he does his and we work together anytime things get rough.We fight and have fought hard. We're both stubborn that way. As with most couples, we've said and done things that we wished we could take back, but I have no regrets. Everything makes us stronger as people and a couple. Besides, making up can be just as crazy!
Is he perfect? Almost! I have had years and years worth of training to perfect him so, but this is only because he started out as such a great guy. I have never expected to change his quiet goofy ways- nor his extreme stubborness and direct point of view. Only little things such as pulling out what meat he wants for dinner and helping with chores (my way).
I really do love this guy of mine. And he is that, all mine. :-) I appreciate him more and more, everyday. CM helps me with this as well, I know that if I am feeling down or aggravated in my life- there are so many out there that struggle daily. In my heart I wish that everyone can have what I do, because it is a wonderful and precious gift.
To be loved as love itself is the greatest gift in the world, and a feeling that you can never get tired of feeling.

AMEN, sister!
Carmie, that makes me so happy to read. I am loving that you're so deeply in love!
I was thinking of writing something similar. I feel so blessed to have a husband who loves me.
We are few Carmin. It is wonderful that the two of you have such a wonderful relationship and love each other so much.
This was inspirational and makes me think of how wonderful my hubby is too. I've been sick and limited physically since day one of our relationship. He goes above and beyond to make life easier for me. (Except when he's out to sea, lol) He helps with dishes, does the laundry on Sundays. I figured that one out once when he was engrossed in a football game. I set a basket down in front of him very quietly and without a word he just started folding the clothes. *gasps* Very cool. He never complains when he comes home and asks what's for dinner, then sees the blank stare in my eyes. Dinner? Oh, shit...knew I forgot something today :) If I never have anything more in my life, I'll always be rich with my husband and boys.
I also wish everyone could have what I have ;)
I know exactly how you feel. Its good to be loved, isn't it?
Wait...are you married to MY husband?
I feel all happy for you Carmie =)
You deserve nothing but the best and I'm glad Mr. Carmie is giving it to you...the best, I mean;)
That is so cool Carmie. It is wonderful when you have a guy you totally love and he loves you back. I am glad you have him.
Sounds like I could have written this myself! I'm always reminded just how lucky I am to have the husband I do! Even though there are always those little things that bug me to death, we have been through thick and thin together and I wouldn't have it any other way. I was 17, he was 16, when we first started dating, although we knew each other 3 yrs before that! He is the first and only person I've ever had sex with and the only one I've kissed for the last 9 yrs =)
In my situation, the Army helps me appreciate him more and more. Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder when you are truly in love. Right now he's in Iraq and I would love to be picking up his dirty socks off the floor, just because it would mean he is HOME.

This is truly wonderful and I could have written it myself because is sounds so much like my marriage of almost 45 years come January 30, 2010.
