The Handsome Hero

Husbands are awesome ... sometimes. My hubby got my blog all fixed up so that people can actually follow me now! He's an absolute genius when it comes to, computers, cars, carpentry, plumbing, electrical anything, professional photographer ... basically everything. Except for some reason common sense. There is almost nothing my husband can't do, or learn to do exceptionally quickly. He's kinda like a super hero super freak mix. (Kind I know, but it's true!) I love him unconditionally and will the rest of my life, but he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't occasionally irritate the bejeezus out of me. For example, most women woo at the fact that my husband built our daughters crib from scratch by hand. Or that he has taken this house circa 1940 and revamped or fixed nearly every bump and bruise. Or that he's built a car (a race car but a car none the less) from the ground up. It's awesome right? Yes. It is. Until it becomes known that your husband is the end all be all for free labor. It's amazing to me how big his heart is, and also at times frustrating. He is so eager and more than willing to help so many people that it sometimes takes it's toll on me. Granted this is a difficult area. As a wife do I complain that EVERYTHING on our house that has been started is not finished? Or do I sit back in awe at his immense generosity?
Women are often now so eager to find that right somebody! And to be honest, it is wonderful. But don't think that once you find them, get in a long term relationship or even married that things are going to be perfect. I'm not a bubble burster, well at least I try not to be, I try to be more realistic. But sometimes I feel more lonely now that I'm married than I ever did single! But again, it's that fine line. My husband is out changing lives, helping people when they're in difficult situations. Really I couldn't be prouder, but the fact that he's often not home due to some emergency furnace outage, makes it hard to not to feel lonely and sometimes jealous of those people in need!
We have worked and talked and often "debated" about his generosity, and at the end of the day the generosity always wins, but it's something I'll have to struggle with for the rest of our lives. We're in it to win it no matter what. But the lesson we can understand from my fine line frustrations is that, marriage is a give and take. You must take the good with the bad. The fact that my husband is a fix anything - do anything super hero freak is awesome!!! But it comes with a cost, his weakness (or kryptonite) is helping people. He just can't resist. So while I love everything about him, sometimes I struggle to keep my jealousy in check.
So ladies! Please know that you may have the perfect man, but remember there will be valleys in life. Just keep yourself in check, tell your mate how you feel, and remember that at the end of the day, you're in love and saving the world one washer at a time!

PS My husband is super handsome and ridiculously athletic too ... it's a miracle I found my way to him before his shyness broke and some other girl scooped him up! (Be jealous ladies!! Be jealous lol)
