The truth is I am very blessed. My husband is not only a person I love but someone I truly respect. I know, I know you are thinking this is a wife who is just getting gushy…well you are right in a way. I more wanted to let you know about something eye opening that happened to me the other night when we were watching a film. The movie was filled with the lies of a cheating husband and the double life he leads, while trying to keep a firm grip on reality. It’s an interesting tale, one that was almost too close to home with my childhood memories. Anyway after the movie my husband and I were talking about our opinions of the characters and I said, “I don’t understand why he just couldn’t be honest with his wife. Why couldn’t he just tell her he was cheating and get it over with?”
“I think he just shouldn’t have cheated in the first place,” said my husband.
Then it hit me. My husband is a good man…no a great man! The fact that he personally had this view and this response made me so thrilled I married him. You see I was raised to watch cheating men and the women just stood by and welcomed them home after they disappeared time and time again. My husband was raised to believe that cheating emotionally or physically is just wrong and I am so blessed to know that. Even something as simple as watching a pretend story in a movie makes him take a stand against cheating and lecture me about how it's not acceptable. I am so thankful that I have broken the cycle of abuse. They say you marry someone like your father and I am happy to say I didn’t. My husband is faithful and forever honest to a fault. Can’t wait to see what else he teaches me as the years go on.
