Understanding partners

[okiron]

When Errik realized that he had no money on his end for us to move out, he expected me to be upset that he was "useless" and "holding me down". I wasn't really because, it's not his fault his last apartment raised his rent so he couldn't afford it, it's not his fault he has bills to pay. And we have our tax return to look forward to along with his raise when he gets promoted. It was only a bump in the road, not a dead end so I really had no reason to be upset with him.

And then I thought about it...I do NOT keep a clean house. Errik has done ALL the since even BEFORE he moved in. He refills all the water bowls and bottles for me and goes downstairs to get meds from the fridge. He even leaves work early because I'm freaking out about one of my animals in need. He has no problem with me adding onto the family because he trusts me. He'll drive anywhere, regardless of the distance if I asked him to. And he isn't mad at all that I just spent over $500 on Bobby in the last couple days with plans on spending $500+ more on Monday and more if surgery is needed.

If I didn't take care of Bobby, we could've moved out this week if we wanted. But he thinks I'll be mad at HIM for not having any money. Sure we fight, we disagree and we don't get along all the time but I really think that's just pure understanding that regardless of if he agrees to anything I say or do, he'll support me on it.

What's something your significant other or parent or neighbor or someone in your support system that's shown you complete understanding and support for something they don't necessary agree with?

You two sound like such a great couple. :hug:

Wish there was someone so understanding in my life, haha. I don't get on very well with my parents and siblings. At all really. I have two sisters, 12 and 14 (I think) who I constantly argue with. They are close, but hate me. I have to incredibly annoying little brothers. My dad and I really clash. Best if I avoid him a lot. I get on best with my mum, but recently we fight more. Usually that Ebony lives outside, and I'm not allowed guinea pigs. She thinks I'm weird, never says it but she so does, that I'd rather spend time with bunnies than go out to a club or whatever. I feel pretty lonely sometimes.

Sorry for the unexpected sympathy story!:baghead Wasn't planning on writing any of that..lol.

Aww Michaela you can come talk to me anytime you want some support or just bored and want someone to talk to! I don't get along with my family either besides my little brothers. *huggies*

He sounds like a prince! I wish hubby was as understanding. He doesn't even understand the bunnies being in the house! Sometimes I think that he's jealous tho - I treat them like little kings and princess Clover of course!

A lot of people really couldn't believe the money I put into my cat last spring when she got hurt, but he didn't really complain too much - I don't know if he ever realized the extent of money it cost. I just sort of keep those things to myself.

Sorry guys - but when he's not being a pigheaded stubborn fool.....I've got the best guy in the world (and no one else can have him....unless he's being a pigheaded stubborn fool at the moment).

I mean .... come on.....we have rabbits in almost every area of the house. He puts up with my messiness (although I'm getting better) and there have been times when I've majorly screwed up our finances and he still loves me and forgives me.

But to go above and beyond all that - he even understands it when I go to bed at night with a sick bunny in my arms...and sleep with it in my arms all night.

Yep....nothing every comes between us....except a bunny....and that has happened many many times and will probably happen many many more times too...

So after 28 years of marriage....I have the best partner/husband in the world....


....


..... when he's not being a pigheaded stubborn fool that is!


:biggrin2:

Edited to add: He even puts up with me when I have to keep a sick bunny in the BATHTUB which means he has to use the shower in another bathroom instead!

A toast to Peg and her hubby, wish you 28 more great years of marriage and then some! *bows down*
