Next Thursday, December 18th the husband & I will celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss. Yep! We have been married 25 YEARS!!! 2-5! Holy sh1t what did we ever find to talk about? No, I don't get up and put my make-up on before he gets up like my mom did after she married daddy. No, I don't run the water when I pee like my mom did. Sometimes in the early years dinner wasn't on the table at 6 or 7...sometimes you had a sandwich.
I still wear sloppy t-shirts and jeans 'cause they are comfortable and when I do dress-up and wear pantyhose he really appreciates it. When we were dating he cracked the first fart, by accident, forgot I was sitting next to him....which meant open season for me! Yes, I was the first one to pull the sheet over his head! Naaa,naa!
We have been through a lot. Kids for one. I already had them when we started dating, kept them after we got married. His finest achievement? When he adopted the kids they changed the birth certificates. On daughters it shows "fathers age at time of birth" he was 15. LOL He is still proud to this day! Yes, I'm older, 2yrs and 2weeks. Not much, just enough to make him look good. In the early years I threatened divorce after one particularly ugly fight, he said "Fine, but the kids are mine and you can go". I had to think about it......LOL
They are HIS kids! People say my son looks just as much like him as daughter does me. They both think more like him than me. I think God knew what was going to happen in my 1st marriage so he stole a gene from husband and gave it to them.
We very rarely fight anymore. Not like we did those 1st few years. We would throw each other out then sabotage the vehicle so the other couldn't leave. I threw a giant trash can at him 1 time. Ahhh back in the day when I had a temper like a wildcat. He loved me anyway. He says I can piss him off faster than anyone else. Wonder why? Could it be the time I scrubbed the bathroom with his toothbrush, then forgot to put under the sink? He used it for a week before I noticed. Or when I had my own checkbook and I rounded up all the entries so I would always have more money than I thought. He spent 3 hours trying to balance the account before he realized what I had done. No more checkbook. Seemed perfectly normal to me, remember I'm a bookkeeper LOL!
His mom said our marriage was like Cyndi Lauper being married to Robert Young (for those who know who they are).
He is conservative. I have a mouth like a sailor, alot, he usually only says sh1t and damn. Daughter and I would yell at each other when she was teen, he spoke to her.
He says he is "damn lucky to be married to someone as caring, loving and special as me". I checked the marriage license to make sure my name was written there.
He remembers the day, the date, where we met, where we had our first date and when we had our first sex. I remember to buy beer at the grocery.
No, its not one sided. I adore the man. He has taught me patience, how to be (reasonably) politically correct and spoils me. I look forward to him coming home everyday. He understands when I cry for no reason and when I'm so angry I could spit nails. He always tells me he admires the fact that I would "defend my children, grandchildren and my beliefs to the bitter end, right, wrong or indifferent". I just figured I was bull-headed like my mom said.
We totally compliment each other. I'm pretty sure he is my soul mate. I can never imagine what my life would be like without my strongest supporter, the one person who totally accepts me for who and what I am and loves me because of it.
In honor of our 25 years I am so glad we did "find something to talk about".
