When Things Get Tough
While times have been good in the M household, things have also been a little tough. But one of the things that I love the most about my husband is that I know, no matter anything-in-the-universe what, he is there for me when I need him.
My health has been very frustrating to me lately. It’s nothing life-threatening, but it’s on that seemingly massive to-solve list before we can get with the baby-making. Thankfully, Mother’s Day was a non-issue for me as far as emotions go, but it is always frustrating to be told, “You can’t.”
A lot of times, I ignore what I’m feeling in order to get my work done. I don’t have time to be sorting out feelings when I’m behind in this, need to take care of that, so on and so forth. That, of course, isn’t healthy, and I often end up working until the pressure bursts.
But that’s when my husband is there. He wipes away my tears, tells me not to get snot on his clothes, and helps me do the things I need to do to get by. Sometimes he has solutions, sometimes he doesn’t – but that’s not what matters. The most important thing is that he’s there and cares.
I know, I know. You’ve all well and truly learned all this in your relationships. It’s not exactly a new lesson. I just can’t help but talk about it.
Last night, as I tried to stop myself from crying and Mr. JM rocked me, whispering that it’s not my fault things are happening the way they are, I felt loved in a way I’ve never felt loved before. A way I never thought I could feel loved before Mr. JM came along.
So I guess I’m just having one of those gushy moments.

I can relate to your post. I don’t know all that you are going through, but I know how much it matters and what a difference it can make to have a supportive husband through times that are tough.
