Last night my husband and I got into an arguement. It was over finances, which is usually the topic if we are to argue. But after both of us expressed our feelings and heard each other out on the subject I was still feeling a bit upset.
Then my husband reminded me of why I married him....
When we firsted dated about 7 years ago we ended things on not the greatest terms. He was not quite over his previous relationship and I got hurt and was not going to stick around and wait for him- it was a messy situation. About 8 months later I got a message that he had called. I was skeptical to call him back. I was still heartbroken over him and I did not want to dig up those feelings that I had been trying to forget.
Eventually though, I called him back. We met at the local IHOP, which was a late night hangout for me and my friends after a night partying as the waitresses there like to give us free coffee and sodas. I was nervous about seeing him and felt that this was a good place to meet. As we sat down and I had a smoke trying to control my nerves wondering what he was going to say, he went into a long sincere apology about how he treated me and basically led me on and how missed me and hoped that we could at least be friends as he wanted me in his life. The sincerity in his voice and the look in his eyes proved to me he was being truthful.
After the apologies we sat there and talked about the things we had been doing since we saw each other last and made plans to hang out just as friends. The months following we did just that. We could feel the attraction but wanted things to go right this time so we agreed to take it slow and actually build a friendship first, before jumping into a more romantic relationship. We hang out, went to movies, played video games and watched cartoons. Now years later we are married and have a beautiful family together....
I had gone to bed shortly after tucking the kids in and he had stayed up going through and cleaning CDs we don't listen to anymore for our garage sale.... I am pretty sure he knew I was still upset.
When he crawled into bed I stirred and as he wrapped his arm around me to cuddle I heard him whisper to me "I am glad you called me back..." before falling asleep.
