My husband is the only attractive man on the planet to me!

I've felt this way about him since the moment I first saw him over five years ago. People keep telling me things will change, that we will soon be tired of being near each other 24/7, that you'll long to look at a different face...then why do we only seem to grow closer together?



We do still kiss with our eyes closed, unless it's a peck. We're so in love that not only do I get excited once he's home from work, but I get super excited when he calls me from work less than a half hour after he leaves the house. I find myself so much more comfortable with everything in life when he's around. Sure, I have hobbies, I have friends...but none of it matters as much as one day with him does.



Quite honestly, I feel awful for those people who feel as if their spouse isn't enough to make them content. I know how it feels for my spouse to mean the world and beyond to me, and it is beautiful! That's why I spent four years engaged to him, keeping things realistic and preparing for the rest of our lives, rather than rushing through like most. If the rest of the world disappeared and just left us, that would be A-OK for me.

After being with your partner for many years and after finding out more about him/her, do you still find your spouse attractive?

Being different

I had always been the odd one in the family and have done things which got me into trouble many a times. While all my sisters and brothers and cousins are working and earning their living, I gave up a lot of good offers and decided to be a housewife. I am still looked down for that. And my thoughts and actions are so different from my family's that I sometimes get the feeling that they just tolerate me for the sake of family unity. It becomes worse when you are not successful in life-like you don't have a job or don't earn big money and don't have fancy degrees after your name. I do have a masters in commerce but all the others are engineers or mba-s or doctors. I was the first to take commerce in my family and even though i got very good marks, in fact better than the others, it is not considered good enough. How do you deal with that?

Parent Involvement in Schools

I am amazed to see what some parents do to make their children do well in school both in studies and extra curricular activities. There is a fancy dress competition in my daughter's school for lower nursery students and some of the kids including mine have enrolled themselves for that. The other day, when we parents(read mothers) were having a small chat after school, I could sense the mothers present there so tensed as to what their child would wear and how she/he would talk etc. One mother had gone her way out and refused to even tell others(to the point of being rude to others including myself) what her daughter was dressing up as. But she made it a point to ask all the others what they were planning. Finally, anyway, her secret was out and she was so disappointed at the other parent who revealed it!

There was something I noticed in all the mothers present there. They wanted their children not only perform well but to win the competition. That is ok. But they were putting undue stress on the children and the poor kids looked so bewildered as to what the fuss was all about. I am more than happy to let my daughter participate. I know I will enjoy it as well as she. It is an added bonus if she wins, but it does not make any difference to me. For me, participation and enjoying what she does is more important than winning. And as far as the competition is concerned, the kids are three for crying out aloud! I don't know what all the fuss is about, getting all worked up for their kids to win! Or am I the only one who thinks this way? Does it mean I am not competitive enough? Please share your views.

(And today was the preliminary selection and my daughter got selected!)

Blue Chalcedony Pendant

I just listed this lovely pendant, in my Etsy store. It is a sterling silver, paraiba color blue chalcedony gemstone pendant. It has a very large bail, and would make a lovely gift for yourself or anyone on your list. What new jewelry have you been working on?
