I saw this on a friends journal...
I couldn't agree more.
In the case of my husband ... I still thought the sun shone out his ass even after he left. I am his biggest fan when it comes to his art. I love his humor. Most all of our years together were perfect. We had a bond that many envied. Things were perfect in the first half of our marriage. No stress... no problems with each other... though he was critical of me. I seemed never perfect enough. He would pick out my faults like it was a joke to him. Later on in the marriage when he was in a good mood we had so much fun together. When he was in a bad mood.... I hurt. But it didn't change how I felt. Our relationship became stressful for the both of us. No matter how much you love someone, that kind of stress can not only kill the relationship.... but be a detriment to your health. We are both prime examples of that.
I have recently come to find that love doesn't have to be stressful... or critical. Everything in that quote Rich truly feels about me... and I him. If I get up with bed head and raccoon eyes in sloppy comfy clothes.... he hugs me and tells me I am beautiful. He doesn't care that I have put on too much weight... to him I am perfect the way I am. His eyes light up when he sees me. He treats me and talks to me with respect. He would never scream and take his bad mood out on me. I feel the same way with him.
Wear sunglasses when you come to our house because the sun shines not only out of his and my asses.... but also Zack and Megs.
