Couples can make people uncomfortable. When they argue, nitpick, and whine about their partner. No one enjoys being a third wheel to you two when you start going at each other. You can be real with your friends and family while still respecting your spouse. You can tell the truth without tearing a person down. Stop looking at the faults and look at what your life would truly be like without that someone.
My answer is: Lonely. So here's some questions to ask yourself. Who would watch the late news with you? Or ESPN? Who else is going to share their life completely with you? Do you show interest in what they do all day? Do you ever ask how work went that day? Can you name their coworkers? Stop taking your spouse for granted. No, really, who else do you allow to see you at your worst? No makeup, bed head, frumpy clothes, blowing snot.
Out of everyone in this world, YOU should have your spouse's back. You may open yourself freely to that person and get frustrated when they take all the hot water, but you need to present a united front to your kids, friends, family and world. You truly are one force, two become one. If this is hard to remember when that guy doesn't put a new trash bag in, then think about why you guys got married in the first place. What made you laugh together? What drew you to him? Back to when you preferred that guy over anyone else. Take yourself back to those moments and appreciate that you have made it this far!
This year is number 13 for Pauly and me. I still love the guy. It's a choice I make every day. I look back at when we were 18 and I choose Paul still. Every moment, every memory that we have, I would pick him every time, cause honestly, my life would suck without you babe.
