My ex was never my hero. Honestly, this may make me sound lame haha but my Mom has always been and will always be my hero no matter what. I'm sure one day when I meet the man I marry he will be my hero as well, but on a different level.
No. I learned long ago that I couldn't necessarily count on the women in my life (e.g. mother, girlfiends, wife) for support. I think the men (father, brother, friends) would be more likely to have my back.
I suppose it speaks volumes about me and the women I choose.
My soon-to-be-ex was no hero. He did answer a distress call from our daughter once and drove 3 hours the next day to help her move some things. It was a totally unnecessary thing to do and had she called me first I would have talked her through how to handle it herself. But he favors her and has no common sense so it wasn't surprising. But he did not come through when it came to real issues involving me or our son.
What I learned was that I can only really count on my parents. Just as my kids know they can always count on me.
My husband is a good man and I can count on him for anything, but I don't idolize him. "Hero" always sounds kind of worshippy to me.
Good point. It makes them sound like they can't be human.
