Let’s get one thing straight: I used to be quite the head-turner. Before you roll your eyes, this isn’t one of those nostalgic rants where a middle-aged woman laments her fading beauty. I mention my past allure because it plays a crucial role in the story of my husband and his remarkable character.
When we first met, my husband was attracted to me solely for my looks. After a brief ten-minute conversation, he asked me out—completely unaware of who I really was. He could have been taking a risk with someone entirely unpredictable, yet he was drawn in by my physical appeal.
It’s worth noting that I, at 26, was equally impulsive, agreeing to go out with him without knowing anything about his true character either. He was a total stranger, potentially a jerk. But wow, did he have a great physique.
So there we were, two people caught up in the superficiality of attraction. What’s significant, however, is that despite that initial connection based solely on chemistry, we’ve remained together for over a dozen years, thriving even as our physical appearances have changed.
You might wonder how we’ve managed to sustain our relationship over the years. The answer lies in my husband’s steadfast character.
It didn’t take long for him to discover that beneath my exterior was a complex mix of quirks and idiosyncrasies. Perhaps he should have bolted once he saw these traits, but he didn’t. His strength of character has enabled him to lovingly tolerate the following:
- My Self-Perception Issues: Even though I once received compliments, I now struggle to see myself as attractive. This leads to frustrating exchanges like:
Him: “You look beautiful today.”
Me: “No, I don’t.”
Five minutes later, I’m sobbing and questioning why he finds me attractive at all. - My Initial Rejection: My automatic response to his requests is often a firm “No.” Though I usually warm up and agree after some convincing, that first refusal always drives him a bit mad.
Him: “Can I spend some money on my bike?”
Me: “No, we have bills!”
Five minutes later, I relent. - My Dramatic Flair: I have a tendency for theatrics, particularly when faced with something that scares me.
Me: “A spider! AIEEE!”
Him: “Just finish what you’re doing.”
My response is always a melodramatic one, despite his logical solutions.
These examples barely scratch the surface of my personality. I could go on about my many other quirks, from my resting face to my disinterest in cooking or exercise.
Ultimately, my husband is a wonderful person. While he might have initially been attracted to my looks, his love for me has deepened over the years. He genuinely cares for me and is committed to our journey together, no matter how many “vagina spider” moments arise.
