Ways I know I've married the right person

[ailbhe]

• When I cough my lungs up, he doesn't run away screaming "Ewww! Gross!" (which it is, trust me) but instead hands me tissues.
• He brings me lunch when I can't walk.
• He goes downstairs ahead of me when I'm dizzy, so that I can fall on something soft.
• He holds my glass of water for me when my hands seize up.
• When I need a hug, he acts like I'm conferring a privilege on him.
• He thinks that attractiveness is a fundamental part of who I am, regardless of what I happen to look like at the time.
• He lets me read books first because I read faster.
• He stops me when I start to work too hard or otherwise exhaust myself.
• He laughs at me in a nice way.

And this is just in the past 24 hours. I suppose I shouldn't start wishing he'd be struck blind like Mr Rochester or something, so's I could return some of the favour... Maybe he's got a dragon I can slay.

Yes!

Even though I feel unwell and am slowing down our usual daily walk, he wants me with him anyway, and is concerned about me, not impatient with me.

He knows I want tuna salad, and we don't have tuna, so he cooks some fish and makes fish salad instead.

He brings me water even though I'm closer, because I haven't been feeling well.

I apologize for being needy and bossy and he says I'm not needy and bossy often enough.

He is kind when another love reminds me that I'm probably feeling like shit because I haven't been taking my iron pills. He doesn't chide me; he is just happy that we have something we can work with.

Those all sound like good reasons (and like d_h, yep yep.

That's lovely.

I'm glad I'm married to Stella as well.
