10 things I love about my husband

Despite, all that I say, I do love my husband a lot. :) If you know us and wonder why you don’t see that love in our eyes, that’s only because, both of us do not believe in “Public Display of Affection” ;)

And to prove my point, I have been meaning to write this post for the longest time. But whenever, I sat down to write it, Ashish would do something so wrong that all the fond thoughts would dissipate immediately ;)

However, he is out grocery shopping now (knowing his pace, he would take no less than 2 hours), so I guess the timing couldn’t get perfect, since absence makes the heart grow fonder ;)

“Wow! Are you sure he’s your husband? But you both are so young?”, “Your brother has similar specs frame as you”, “Poor Ashish! How does he ever keep up with you?” are the first reactions of people who see us together. 2 completely contrasting personalities, 2 opposite end, 2 sides of a coin, etc. A “good boy”; smart, sensible and matured; soft spoken, patient and humble versus a “naughty girl”; talkative, immature, LOUD, impatient and blunt. Don’t even get me started with a good chef versus a lousy eater. We both strike a balance in every aspect of life. He completed my life like a jog Saw puzzle.

He’s my Best Friend (Other best friends, please don’t take an offense here ;), my partner, my guide, my lover and my darling husband.

This however, does not imply that he doesn’t drive me crazy. He does! He is stubborn, egoist, lazy, critical and sometimes messy… But this post will have only goody goody stuff. You can read on other posts for the other side of the story ;)

So, here are the 10 things I love about my husband:

1. He’s got my back. ALWAYS. He is the pillar of strength I’ve always needed. He is always there to support me in all my endeavors (no matter how silly they might be). He never says, “I think painting a house would be a lot of effort considering we’ll have to repaint it back when we leave. So let’s forget about it”. But instead, he says, “We’ll make it a fun activity if you want it”. He never says, “I think, taking up too many responsibilities would drive you crazy. So don’t do it”, but he says, “I’ll be always there to provide you support when you need it”. He is my true partner, in every sense of the word.
2. I trust him completely. I know he always has my best interest at heart. Even when he holds on tight to the side bars when I am driving, it’s not because he is scared, it’s because he wants to keep himself safe “Just in Case” ;) With him, I can be rest assured that our future is planned and is safe.
3. He is funny. Ashish might come across as a serious, non-fun guy at first sight. The ones you called “uncle” in your group ;) But once he is in the mood, he can crack everybody up. But sure, you cannot put him under pressure or it just gets embarrassing. Like the other day when I started a sentence but didn’t know how to finish it, and looked at Ashish to say something funny and save me there… and silence followed….
4. He knows HISTORY. You cannot imagine how important that is for an ignorant person like me, who didn’t even know what our national tree was. I have always wanted a well read person who can not only teach our kids, but also educate me every now and then… But it does get annoying at times when you are on your honeymoon and all you get to hear is history about the place.
5. He has the looks. Being caught up in the daily grind of work/ dance/ socializing etc, this is something I don’t notice often, but the man is good looking. He has the perfect smile to lighten my day, those eyes and eye lashes (sometimes I feel like plucking them and using it for myself ;).
6. He loves my family. This is HUGE for me. He understand what my family means to me (not excluding Mishti in any way), he understands how much I miss them and he also understands how much it means to me when he loves them as much as I do. No wonder he was ready to send me to India when I said I missed my family. Not because I was driving him crazy, cribbing, crying, yelling “You don’t love me anymore” and then threatening “I swear I won’t let you sleep”; but because he really loves me :)
7. He compliments me. He is exactly what I am not. (Cook, investor, sensible, etc.) That makes us “perfect” for each other. I think life would be very boring if I was an exact copy of his. Imagine, spending life in total silence!!!!
8. He works hard. Not only professionally, but on our relationship as well. If you know me, you probably also know how difficult it is to put up with someone as crazy as me. He does a marvelous job at it. He does lose his cool at time, but that’s all in another post ;)
9. He is my partner in crime. You would think, a person as non- adventurous as Ashish, who has always been a “Good Boy”, would not do anything exciting. It’s time to know him all over again. He made it a point to get out of his shell and join hands with me in my madness. With him, every sport/ activity is pure FUN!
10. He loves me. Need I say more? It’s pure bliss when he sings to me at night. When we watch movies cuddled up. When he cooks breakfast for me. When he forces milk down my throat. When he lets me buy chocolates. When he get me flowers. When he buys me 2 pair of shoes that I can’t decide between. When he tickles me till I fall off bed laughing.

I can go on and on. Point remaining the same, I love my husband to bits. We are meant to be together.

Now I better end this before he comes back and does something so unbelievable irritating that I am forced to kill him and change this list AGAIN!
