S/he's Perfect!

I have an ex-husband to compare current Hubby against. Hubby, at his worst, is always better than the ex, even at his best. It gets me through those times that Hubby is not quite perfect.

I do try my damnest to overlook the "nasty" in my Husband's behavior. When he does have a case of the "nastee's", I blame it on male menopause. They use that one on us, so now we can throw it right back at them.

Gosh, my reading comprehension must be failing. I read your headline and kept waiting for the revelation that Joe's girlfriend was a guy. :)

Now that I get your point...I do think this is part of the wisdom of age. You know what the deal-killers are. Which faults you can't live with.

I remember a Girl I meet when I was 17 she was perfect not a single flaw, was the happiest time of my life, her only flaw it turned out was she was not as in love as I was. I would give anything to feel that way again no strings ,no expections just the raw emotion of loving someone.

It may sound cold, calloused and just plain wrong, but imagine if he no longer existed.

I deeply and sincerely apologize if I have offended/hurt anyone. That was not my intention. But that is something I have to deal with on a daily basis. She is not there any more to aggravate me and drive me totally bonkers, like I miss so much.

I overlook my wife's imperfections in part by realizing she must likewise overlook MY many, many faults. How can I expect her to give me grace if I don't do the same for her?

Sometimes we have to settle things by having a burping contest, which I frequently lose. She is a champion burper, in part because she's a speech therapist so has an intimate understanding of lung, throat and diaphragm control.

I don't mind losing because to listen to her is to listen to an artist, a master of her form. Give the woman a six-pack of Diet Pepsi and listen to the symphony.
