I can say, with all honesty, there isn't one single thing I would change about my husband. And I've really tried, at times, to think of something. LOL!
With that said, I love to relive the story of when we were dating. My husband had just had a major accident at his work place (fell off the top of a 5 story building; broke every bone in his body, but facial bones). He had shattered his left hip and had just had another surgery to try and save the thigh bone (it was dying due to lack of blood flow). While still on crutches, he drove around town and would stop in front of people's houses where roses were in bloom. He'd get out of the car; hobble up to the front door, knock and ask if he could have a few roses for his girlfriend. If no one was home, he didn't take any. He said he met some really sweet people doing this, one little old lady inparticular who showed him all around her garden.
I came out to my car at the end of the work day and there was the most amazing boquet of roses with a note that said, "Anyone can buy roses; but I want you to know, there is no obstical too big that I won't work around to put a smile on your face."
My husband works so hard so I can stay at home with our kids. I could get job now that our youngest is in grade 2 but he said "no hun, you have worked so hard raising the boys just sit back, relax and enjoy your days without kids." He said I never have to get a job if I don't want. I so appreciate him for that and I know our boys are better off for it.
My Dad started getting really sick from cancer the first year we were married. We prob spent 3 months out of the entire first year of marriage together and DH never complained. You would think year one would be all love-dovey and stuff but ours was tramatic, somber, and long distance. Never once did DH complain or say anything negative about me making the choice to put our marriage on the back burner for the first year. He was always there for me and I thank my lucky stars every day that I found someone that loving and understanding. I owe him my sanity!
Im thinking and can't think of one thing. My husband is not very detailed. He is however, dependable, hardworking and carring. Do I miss the detailed stuff??? Ofcourse, but it balances out.
After rereading my answer I thought I should elaborate on my husband. I havent worked now for about three years due to medical issues. We have had some tough financial burdens and not once has he said if only you were working. He has stood by me unconditionally through my grandmas passing and my nights at her house taking care of her thorugh her cancer. I have had three surgeries and when I was diagnosed with cancer he stood byme and pampered me like I was his first born. He loves and aes for my three boys as if they were his own. When we met sbout eight years ago i was an executive earning a good salary and I was modeling on the side. Physically I look nothing like the woman he fell in love with but he tells me on a daily basis how neautiful I look and that he loves me. No he isnt "detailed with presents, romance or flowers but he deinately is my BETTTER half.
My husband wasn't outwardly thoughtful or very verbal romantically. He bought me flowers twice- when our sons were born. He would buy me a birthday gift and leave it- in the bag with no gift wrap- on a chair and go to work. But he worked hard to support the family. A few years after our son was born, I was all down in the dumps. I felt as though I was contributing nothing to our family. At that time he loaded boxes on to trucks at 25 cents a box. I thought that I should go to work and he told me that what I was doing was just as important as what he did- that he couldn't work as hard as he did without me at home taking care of our son and keeping the house.
Many years later, when he was earning well into six figures, I had an opportunity for a great, challenging job. He cut back on his hours to cook for the kids and take care of the house. He still worked, but as it was in sales, what I earned was less than what he lost by doing this.
It's not the things he does but the things he says...The other day he said "I'm so glad you married me" I melted like butter...lol
