Don't get me wrong, I know when a relationship starts, no one thinks to themselves "Oh my gracious, I am just so excited that this man treats me like dirt! I can not wait to be in a tangled up web of lies and hurt!" But there does come a point in time when every woman needs realize whether or not they have a good man or a shit man. I, my friends, have a good man.
When I talk with my friends (ok, they're in the computer, but they count!!) and hear all about the way their men treat them I realize, I don't have it as bad as I sometimes think I do. Not that I think I have it bad with Husband. I just get a little more frustrated and irritated than necessary when he's playing Call of Duty at night when the girls go to bed. Or when he falls asleep on the couch right before dinner. Or...ya know what, we'll just leave it at that.
Some women deal with men who use their children as leverage. Men who sit on the couch All Day Long playing video games while she works. Men who have leave them alone and helpless with a baby while they take off to party, hang out with friends, or just plain leave them. Men who walk away from their marriage the week before their baby is born. Men who are just plain and simple, douche bags.
And while my heart goes out to these women, I selfishly think to myself, "Well hot damn, I've got a good one. Go me!" But then I go back to cheer them on as they stand up for themselves and take control. Because behind every douche bag is a woman who will eventually snap. Who will kick these boys to the curb. Walk away from a custody battle a winner. Raise a sweet baby boy to be a Real Man and not some fake imitation who only takes care of his responsibilities when he's trying to get some action.
I stop to think to myself that I actually feel bad for my Husband, because I'm pretty sure I got the better deal out of our marriage than he did.
Which is funny, because he's so amazing, he'd probably say the same thing back to me.
