I Hate My Husband!!!

NO!!!! How can I possibly hate him? He is such a wonderful husband who doesn’t smoke, doesn’t gamble and doesn’t womanize.


When I received this tag from Shannon’s Mummy about the 10 things I hate about my husband, I kept thinking and thinking and until now, I still can’t find anything that I hate about him. One day, I asked him: “What do you hate about me?” He looked at me and said: “Nothing. There is nothing I hate about you.” You know, I was hoping that he would say something to start the fire in me burning so that I would have something to hate him for but …


So, here I am writing this post with a blank mind, not knowing my direction.


Well, my hubby has lots of weaknesses but I guess over the years, I have gotten used to his ways and his habits. Marriage is all about compromising and accepting each other’s weaknesses, isn’t it?


No, I did not marry a tall, dark and handsome prince who can swirl and dance and utter romantic words in my ears. Instead, I am happily “stuck” with a man who is so practical that sometimes I wonder whether his head ruled or his heart ruled when he married me. Off course, I would not complain because I think my head rules too.


Being an Asian, he is definitely in the list of men who help around in the house. He is also a father who would spend time with his children, playing and educating them whenever he could spare some time. Although he sometimes scolds the children when the soft approach fails, he loves them dearly. He has this special power to turn the crying kids (after scolding) into laughing kids with his sense of humor and make the kids forgive and forget.


Come to think of it, it is pretty amazing that I married my first love and he married his first love too! It has been seven years, going to be eight and we have three lovely children. We talk about our marriage often and we appreciate our relationship very much.


So, does he have the qualities of a good husband (One of Tot's Mom's posts)? To me, he definitely qualifies as my husband but do I have the qualities of a good wife? That, I would have to hear from him.
