H is for... Husband

When you get married to the right person the husband or the wife becomes the centre of your life. You can’t imagine your life without him in any which way. Something like that happened to me as well...

Frankly speaking I never ever thought about marriage before I did get married. I met a Boy who had the sweetest heart and fell in love with it. The next step was marriage and we just did it. Just like that without weighing in the pros and cons, thinking about the in-laws, planning the future, thinking about kids, knowing the unknown – we jumped into the bandwagon and tied the nuptial knot.

It was only when I stepped into an unknown house did I realise what I had done! Since I had no prior thoughts and hence absolutely no expectations, everything turned out to be beyond perfect and so I did not feel much change. The only change I noticed was in the Boy and how wonderful he actually was.

It has been five years and I’ve noticed that I’m a very difficult person to live with. I control everything, I’m extremely moody and I cry at the drop of a hat. I mean, if I were my husband I would have been one tortured soul. But here I see a man making efforts day in and day out to make me smile each moment. When I dominate, he manipulates! When I cry, he clicks pictures to make me laugh! And when I’m in the worst of my moods, he would just make all the right moves. Do you understand what I am talking about?

In the last two years my health has deteriorated beyond control. On some days I’m literally dependant on him to move around. Obviously it worsens my mood swings. Somehow this guy hasn’t given up. I see him each day working hard to make my life easier. I feel guilty and proud at the same time. When I was getting married to him, I had no clue he had all these qualities as well.

And so, H can only mean Husband to me. They say they have the best husband in the world but they don’t know what it means. You see mine and you’ll know what the finest spouse really stands for!

P.S. I am in an extremely emotional mood today and hence this post. On some days H can also mean Asshole Husband!
