Does Husband Read Your Blog?

I get regularly asked, what does Husband think of your blog? The truth is, I don’t  think he reads it much. One, he doesn’t have much time because Husband is a very, very busy man, and two, he knew who he married. Only if he thought it was damaging to us would I consider taking it down.

You see, you can ask an LBB not to do something and she’ll think about it. Maybe. Because most LBBs are independent, not bending to the will of the norm. If we did, we would have married the first guy who asked, or worse, went on a M.R.S. mission and gotten married before she was 25 if it killed her. We aren’t those people. LBBs are romantics. We wait until we find The One.

This is not to say that younger brides didn’t wait for Mr. Right, either. More power to you if you found him early! We did not. So, do not take offense. We just were not settling for what was just “on sale.” Sales have their place – shoes, for instance. But, not in men.

So, I held out for Husband. And, that meant finding someone who would not squelch my need to vent my creativity. I have always written. And, while I always knew life was funny, marriage is funnier. Especially the later kind. So, I laugh. And, I write. (It also helps for those times — when I am snickering to myself  — that there is the presence of a keyboard and typing. That way no one thinks I’m crazy, just seeing pink giraffes.)

(For the record, I promised Husband that I would not make look bad. How am I doing?)
