So I'd sit with him or take a drive and chat about everything.<br /><br />But we never had a lot of money, so he didn't ever "spoil" me with things. But looking back, that was the best thing for me because as much as I enjoy "things"- I don't need them and am certainly happy without them.Shelle-BlokThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118555873275829720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-88215654343350802562010-07-29T20:01:07.061-06:002010-07-29T20:01:07.061-06:00I have to be self-sufficient due to external circu...I have to be self-sufficient due to external circumstances. My spouse is supportive rather than the rescuing type, unless I specifically ask for more help. He does treat me like a princess by taking care of 99% of the laundry though. LOL.<br /><br />Growing up, my dad always gave great advice (I didn't always recognize it as such when I was a teen), but rarely rescued me. In hindsight, I was still a bit spoiled though. It can be a rude awakening when you have to start earning your own way 100%.<br /><br />~JTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-2717980000794967922010-07-29T15:06:40.672-06:002010-07-29T15:06:40.672-06:00I just loved this post and I couldn't agree mo...I just loved this post and I couldn't agree more with the importance of being self sufficient & independent to be better in your marriage!<br /><br />I alway say... too many people think that when you get married "two becomes one" when what they should really be focused on is "two becoming too".<br /><br />As INDIVIDUALS working TOGETHER in marriage, you can both accomplish more and improve yourself!The Hubby Diarieshttp://thehubbydiaries.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-41263230000443702382010-07-29T10:53:31.389-06:002010-07-29T10:53:31.389-06:00I'm a wordsmith and how you said this - "...I'm a wordsmith and how you said this - "his ex-wife was still sniffing around, waiting to see if she’d let go too soon" - was PERFECT. I really liked that along with the rest of the post. Very insightful. :)Nolens Volenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036305398084993224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-52521757098606912752010-07-29T10:53:24.780-06:002010-07-29T10:53:24.780-06:00That's a very good lesson for us dads...I do t...That's a very good lesson for us dads...I do try my best to be an ideal father and I know that I can't rush in and try to fix everything.

I am most definitely a daddy's girl through and through and even though he pushed me and showed me how to follow through, he also was the first one to pick me up when I fell down. <br /><br />It's hard to be married to someone who lets me go my own way. Someone who doesn't tell me which way to go and won't stick a pillow under my butt so it doesn't hurt when I come crashing down. But, it's what I needed. <br /><br />Thanks for the giggle this morning Sandra!Big Fat Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462503578188104745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-35397460183188039012010-07-29T08:01:08.500-06:002010-07-29T08:01:08.500-06:00My guy has always been supportive.

Sometimes I wish he hadn't been because it didn't turn out like I had imagined.<br /><br />But he doesn't always rescue me and it did give me that independence I needed to develop, because I married him when I was 20.<br /><br />He's definitely just right for me. I'm not sure there are many men out there strong enough to deal with all the things I get myself into.Shelle-BlokThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118555873275829720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-64518488110658441732010-07-29T07:47:11.210-06:002010-07-29T07:47:11.210-06:00lol Sandra I love your post.
