Got it Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 I am really about the individual and there are unique things in each man. So in my man, I love his shoulders, his stance, his narrow hips, his laugh (I ADORE HIS LAUGH), his chest, his eyes, his hair, the way he baby talks the dog, the way he baby talks the cat, , the way a dress shirt looks on him with the sleeves slight cuffed. I love when he takes charge and when he is determined. I love his energy.

serial muse Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Woggle, I don't know if you saw my other thread, but my husband was in a terrible accident a few weeks ago, and has been in the hospital since then. Even though I was with him for hours each and every day of that time, he's been so medicated that he was, effectively, absent, and I missed him terribly. I spent hours, holding his hand, missing him. This isn't about "men" in general, but you want to know about one person's love for her husband, and I can tell you that the ache has been so deep that sometimes I couldn't breathe. I've missed so many little things - his sardonic sense of humor, the way he holds me at night, the many little home rituals we've developed over the years together that don't feel complete without him there. He came home this weekend, finally, and although is still very weak and has a long way to go, it has meant the world to me to have him back. Once his surgeries were complete and his pain was lessened, they were able to step back on the meds (although he's still taking quite a few) and I feel like he's coming back to me. Last night I curled up in bed next to him, and for the first time in weeks he was able to put his arm around me. I'm crying as I type this. We're not exactly lifelong yet - been together about 8 years, and married relatively late in life - but please try to remember, when you have your episodes of doubt, that there are many, many people like me and like him in the world. I saw so many other people - women and men - in the hospital, who mirrored my emotions. You're selectively reading/listening to terrible stories, but if you really want to soothe your fears, try hanging around a hospital ICU sometime. You'll see a different side of humanity; often, the best of people. It's your choice, which stories you choose to give the most weight. 4
