Well we had a good experience yesterday morning (night time for my wife). After a 13 hour job, mostly standing talking to people, she called me on the phone. Almost instantly broke down in heavy crying telling me what a bad it was. And how she didn't have enough money on her for lunch or dinner. SHe was exhausted but starving. And a deal didn't end up growing through with a customer so it bummer her out to.

What made this good was she kept apologizing for crying saying she couldn't stop and she didn't know why. I told her it was because I am her husband and she was releasing her emotions with me because its what I am there for. To be there for her and comfort her. Which me saying that resulted in her crying more because she hadn't thought of it that way. Not to long after some loving talk back and forth she felt better and thanked God for me always being so loving to her.

So that was a good experience to me. Feeling that deep bond and love of a wife who turns to you for support and in this case cries for you. A wife that shares everything with you as you consul her. Now if I could only get there sooner to hold her in my arms. :)

And that is what love is all about. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

Xfreak, you are such a sweetheart!


The Hubster brought me a beautiful bouquet of multi-colored lilies and a box of gourmet cupcakes a few days ago cause I wasn't feeling well (and still don't!). I was sooooo touched!

The other night, he crawled into bed in the middle of the night (he has constant insomnia, and often won't be in bed till long after I'm asleep) and started whispering all these sweet little things to me, like "You're my whole world... you're my sun and moon..." but I was so daggone asleep that I remember sort of moaning and rolling away lol. Sorry hunny!! When I'm asleep, I'm OUT. He knows this, but constantly tries to cuddle or tickle or get frisky with me at night, and then he's all miffed when I'm like "NO, leave the zombie wife alone!"

Thanks and your welcome! :)

LOL Inkachu. I've tried the whispering at night to my wife and she usually smiles and snuggles closer. I'm just a mush bag really. I usually am awake about 1-3 hours after she sleeps running my hand through her hair and smiling at her beauty and love.

Maybe some have good Christmas memories you and your spouse shared.

I am thinking of the Christmas just a few years ago, (actually it was a few days before Christmas) we got to participate in the Christmas Basket give-a-way to needy folks in the community which our church does every year. The pastor showed "It's a Wonderful Life" on the screen, ladies gave away hot chocolate and cookies, and we got to greet them as they came in to pick up their baskets. Such an amazing evening doing this together! Our first time as greeters. Two years later at a different church we became part of the greeters' ministry.

Not all good things are throughly pleasant
That seems to be a principle that can be counted on. It seems as if it's often having someone there beside us through difficult times that makes love grow stronger.

I just discovered this series of videos on YouTube from StoryCorps and thought they'd fit well into this thread. These are true interviews put to cartoons.

I wouldn't mind a gentle caress or whisper, but he wants to get all up on me (and he's a BIG guy) and he likes to sort of drape himself over me like a blanket, and I seriously can't breathe cause he's solid muscle and he crushes me lol. He's VERY cuddly and would sleep with me all wrapped up like a pretzel with his arms and legs around me if he could, but I can't do it lol. I love cuddles and snuggles when I'm AWAKE, and sometimes I'll lay on his chest and doze off, or I'll spoon behind him while HE'S sleeping, but when I'm sleeping... lemmee alone! :D My poor hubby lol. He's like this big, heavy, heat blanket and he wants to smother me with his love!

I don't think some men realize if you try to lay on your wife to snuggle, you likely are bigger then her and its to much weight on her. I'm 5'9, 204. My wifes 4'11 and 103. So I'd crush her lol.

Not arguing or anything but snuggling is to personal to talk about?

Oh I remember this topic! Well I got a perfect new story then.

I seen my wife for two weeks a month ago in her country. We were celebrating our one year anniversary. Obviously it was suppose to be a romantic time of catching up. Well near the end of the first week one the way home from her work a man shoved me and I fell (mostly my leg) between a train and a train platform. I ended up with two fractures on my tibia and fibula. Temporary cast and pain meds. Had to keep my foot up as much as possible.

Well after blaming herself for the incident I held both of her hands and wiped her tears saying she did nothing wrong, it was a rude man that caused it. I told her only thing I blame her for is being so beautiful because I can't see where I am walking because her angelic light is so bright. She giggled, smiled and thanked me. She snuggled up closer.

When we got to the hotel she took amazing care of me. Before work each morning she would get me breakfast. GO get crutches. And even after work when she came to the hotel she kept taking care of me endlessly and putting herself last. Fixing the pillow for my foot. Bathing me. Checking on my foot. Giving me my meds. A few days of it brought tears to my eyes. Because if you seen her, shes a very petite woman who some would assume is weak.

But she is anything but that. I told her her heart was of gold and it touched me deeply how much she took care of me. She never complained. Despite the initial sadness of it ruining the anniversary, it if anything actually made it even more special. The connect had become so much deeper because of the accident. On all levels, even personal private ones.

I've never had such a bonding experience in my life outside of our honeymoon obviously. She now sees how strong she is. Just as she in the past seen how strong I was taking care of her. It just makes our future years feel even more special because we know we are here for each other just as the vows say. :)

Currently as I type I am supporting her as her medical TB results are coming up. And along with her time of month, mean coworkers and stress in general... shes needs me badly. And she keeps thanking me for always making her smile no matter how bad the day was.
