My hubby, a comfortable friend (Your Tips Wanted!!)

I jot down my thoughts about marrage and my husband. I will be very grateful if you read this and give your feedback, comment, grammatical adivice, or whatsoever.





I gained new perspective on what a husband means to me. Of course, I have husband since I’m married. However, I have been complaining about my husband for his lack of help for house chores and baby nurturing, and difference in opinion. Having got married almost right after graduation, I didn’t have a chance to spend my hard-earned money only for myself. Especially, after giving birth to my son, we have been under continuous pressure that we should spend less. Of course, I’m not a thoughtless wife and I know we should not splurge since we are quite indebted after purchasing our apartment. However, sometimes I wish I were a single career woman who just spends her salary for beauty, entertainment, fashion, culture, etc without feeling a shred of guilt.



Anyway, for aforementioned reasons, I have been somewhat unhappy about being a married woman. And the stress coming from the fact that I have to work and take care of baby at the same time is quite huge. I disputed when my younger sister said that having a husband is like having a life-long friend who would always be with you when others are too busy to see you.



However, I realized that I call my hubby when I have to kill time – his office is near mine, and when I need somebody to accompany me for movies, etc. I can even pick my nose before him and he can relieve himself when I’m in the same bathroom. Well, I guess, we are VERY comfortable to each other.



So I thought, ‘Why don’t I think of him as my FRIEND?’ not a husband who is supposed to share whatever responsibility coming from marriage but sometimes acts like a boy living with his “mother”. Well, I guess that I can look at him from a little different and better angle from now on.

While it seems that many a married person would find themselves in your situation I don't think that anyone has the guts to admit they feel the same way. I recently found myself in the same place as you. I am married and have 6 beautiful well behaved kids.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience.

I posted up my story thinking I can both share my experience and have my English checked in terms of grammer, or whatsoever..

And I learned a lot from your reply in terms of both.

Thank you.
