Hubby turned 40 last week. And I'm sure for those who know hubby and recognize what an introvert he is, you'll will be surprised that we spent the weekend watching marathon sessions of Supernatural. Hubby said he didn't want to go to a restaurant and listen to other people's conversations, so we ordered pizza from 800 Degrees and made it a night in, ending with a coconut cake from the frozen food section. Hubby said it was a wonderful birthday. Ah, how sweet!
Then, we have my brother who posted this lovely comment on facebook ..."Why do they call it a one night stand? I prefer to call them auditions." Really? I thought you were taught to respect women better than this. And what kind of women are you hanging out with that think this is acceptable behavior? Think of your sisters and nieces and all the heartaches they went through thanks to bad men and bad decisions before you become one of those loser guys in their late 30s looking for cheap one night stands with the younger gals.
And the final "guy atrocity" of the weekend ... I was told my sis's boyfriend calls her a bitch. Didn't we learn that lesson in high school, that though we may be a bitch sometimes, no man who respects or cares for us should call us that name. In hubby and my almost a decade together, there has been some name calling, but it has been understood from day one, I would not tolerate being called a bitch because of the respect factor.
So score one for the good guys. Hubby had a nice calm birthday and I realized once again what a great guy I have.

This just proves to me that boys are stupid most of the time. I'm glad your hubby at least has occasional glimpses of normal behavior, making him one of the better guys I have known in my life. I'm glad that you both found each other and that you appreciate what you have together.

Remind me of that next time I go stir crazy!
I often wonder how I got so lucky with my sweet hubby. He's not perfect, but neither am I. He respects women and their rights. Come to thinkof it, my own father (b. 1898) also respected and encouraged the women with whom he lived (my mother and three sisters) to achieve all we could. If we didn't (as in the case of on sister), it wasn't his fault. And my son-in-law also respects women (being married to my daughter, he'd have to be), so I keep thinking there are lots of great guys out there, probably better odds than the one good vs two bad this weekend that you encountered.
Respect. I don't think my husband respects women in general or a group. However, he will respect a person if there is a reason for that respect. He will treat women with the manners that he was taught...but that doesn't necessarily mean he will respect them. What I'm saying is he'll let them go out the door first, he just may not respect the person that's going out the door first. The same would apply to his thoughts on men.
