Awwww…how sweet!

Very idealistic. How it would be in a perfect world.
My ex-husband, however, left as soon as I was fast converging on 35 and could not fit in a size 8. Such is reality for way too many of us.
Still, I like reading fairy tales, so thanks.

a paperback writer:
My ex-husband told me throughout our marriage “I could never love you if you were fat….just so you know.” No surprise why I finally chose to leave. But now, ten years after we split, (yes, ten!) the first man to come into my life has told me “I love you…I think you’re beautiful…no matter what.” So those wonderful, caring guys really do exist, even though it’s not a perfect world.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Absolutely, very sweet! And YAY for jean! For mad monk and paperback writer, there must be corollaries to this. Too bad flaws of the heart/soul are not so easily seen as wrinkles, scars, and love handles.

brought a smile to my face

wow, caren, that’s a slap in the face! Ouch!

But still I think this isn’t that idealistic… In a case of deep and sincere love, those little things really aren’t a problem, you don’t even see them. You only see the beautiful things. Her blue eyes, her way of kissing you, her laugh etc.

Yes, Jean, that’s while I’m 7 years single now — and probably will be for the rest of my life.
Mike, my dad’s like you (my parents have been married 59 1/2 years), but most men are not. Whoever’s got you is a dang lucky woman. I was married 14 years, and the only thing he every told me he liked about my looks was that I had good posture. Oh well, I never claimed to be a beauty queen. I thought he loved me anyway because of personality (he said he did). But he took off. Such is life. It’s reality for lots and lots of women. We get old. We get pudgy. Men lose interest.
But I STILL like this index card and think it’s clever.

Thank god this is true, if not I’d be in trouble.

count my spouse among the good, when I remark about my grey roots (which I’ve been coloring since age 24, almost 20 years now) he tells me I shouldn’t worry about it.

So sweet.

My wife just gave birth so she’s particularly sensitive to her body right now.

To me, she’s sexier than ever. Curves are hawt.

The new boobs are great too.

I just wish she wouldn’t feel bad about herself. But as she says, “If this was the price to get her (the baby) then it was worth it.”

Unfortunately she looks a lot like her dad right now, but apparently that’s an old cave-man thing that is designed to make me bond with her so I can help out more with the baby and the chores.

Apparently, after a baby is born, a man is most sexy after vacuuming. Who knew? She even brought me home a six pack one night because she and the baby had to get out and I had to clean…so far so good.

Thanks! My girlfriend seems very happy too, it’s great

wellll… i see the love handles when i’m displeased, but they do magically vanish most of the time.

his “laugh lines” were always so very charming.

paperback, it seems like the comment about character flaws was aimed at you and jean’s exes, not you and jean, but i can see how it would be misunderstood. unfortunately, love does blind us to more serious flaws, too, on a more temporary basis.

How cute.

When i was growing up i had a check list of the perfect guy I would date, but it’s amazing how love makes you focus on the essence and leave out the superfluous.

what a sweet depiction. I like it.

I just love the geekiness of putting it in a Venn diagram. I had to do those for Cognitive Psych last year. Good times This is very sweet.

[...] Thank Goodness [...]
