A question for the men

[CityGirlintheCountry]

Uncle Butch- Please show that to your wife. That was beautiful. What a tribute.

I love hearing everybody's stories. These are fun.

I met my wife on a blind date. I was waiting for her and checking out petite blondes who roughly matched her description, thinking "That one would be okay" or "Uh oh, I hope that's not her". Then I saw her and thought "WOW! Nah, it'd be too good to be true. Besides, she's way too young". When she waved, I turned and looked behind me because I didn't think she could be waving at me.

So, the first things I noticed were long blonde hair, a gorgeous face and a figure like Jessica Rabbit's.

It got even better from there: She loved to cook and exercise, hated to shop, had two college degrees and owned her own house free and clear. She was the most stable and rational woman I'd ever met. She's crazy every twenty-eight days, of course, but other than that.

I knew her mother had recently died and that she was emotionally vulnerable. I exploited that knowledge to take advantage of her in shocking ways. I was so cunningly clever that you could have pinned a tail on me and called me a weasel. She was deceived as to my true nature until she had been manipulated into marriage. A marriage in legal terms only - it's actually a form of bondage serving only to fill my selfish needs, and dooming her to a life of drudgery and servitude. By the time she realized what a callous, depraved, coarse brute I am - a monster, really, following only my basest instincts - it was too late. She has such a strong sense of responsibility that she'll endure it no matter how neglected, used, unfulfilled and dissatisfied she feels.

I do realize how fortunate I am. There was a huge element of luck involved, without which none of my shameless maneuvers would have been successful. I make it a point every now and then to let her know that I'll be reasonably fond of her while her looks and inheritance last.

Not going to wear my fingers out with the whole long, boring story, but the short version is that I was in the hospital and she was my nurse after surgery. And when I woke up and she came in the room with those beautiful blue eyes and her red hair, I thought I had died and was in heaven.

That was over 15 years ago now, and it feels like last week.

During family counseling last week, our counselor asked my hubby what attracted you to your wife and this was his comments:

Her sense of humor, Irish temper, a good cook and shared common things like Civil War reenactments and history. She loves me because I am unique! (he was strange....like a geek but a heart of gold!)

Been married for four years and been together for eleven years.

Uncle Butch, you did GOOD! Its a tribute to her! Dont forget to tell her how much you love her everyday!

Uncle Butch,
If I had your address I would print that out and send it to your wife.
Its beautiful when a husband truly appreciates his wife and recognizes her attributes.

Uncle Butch,
I was near tears! That has got to be one of the sweetest things I have ever heard. Your wife is truly lucky. I made my fiance set down and read it and then when he was finished I said "Why don't you love me like that?"

Oblio, you really didn't have to go through all the trouble of typing this. Everybody at BYC kinda already knew...

My DW and I will be married 20 years next June and for the life of me I can't figure out how I pulled it off

We come from completely different backgrounds, she from Detroit and me from a little farm outside of Battle Creek. She's beautiful and I'm....well...a large bald man

From the first time I met her I felt a connected and everyday I'm thankful for my best friend and the love of my life.

Plus, she let me have CHICKENS!!!

My first wife, stone cold beautiful, turned out to be a good mom too, great lady.

My second wife, also beautiful, smart, VERY independent (which I like).

It must be me, I am in the middle of my second divorce

Actually she wanted to go back to Phoenix and I didnt. Still love her, but I stays here.
