She called herself a ‘video game widow’ LOL! I had to laugh because Brian likes to play video games a lot too. Now this man, like my husband, works full-time and takes care of his wife and children. I feel like, if you have a husband who does that, let the man play his video games!

I don’t hassle Brian about it because he does not neglect me or the kids in order to play video games in his free time; if I need him to do something or spend time with me he does it. So if there are times he wants to play video games for hours, I’m not going to nag him about it or get mad over it. I have plenty of work and hobbies to do to fill my time when he is doing his hobby.

Not so much our marriage, but by things that happened to us, including a miscarriage I suffered in September, a mental breakdown I had earlier in the year, the flu that we both had and also the kids got, and most recently our son Todd was hospitalized for a sudden lump that appeared in his neck that turned out to be an infected lymph node. Through all this I have been struck by my husband’s strength and resilience. He has been my rock, ever steady and strong. Even when he himself was sick with the flu, he was focused on making sure everyone else was ok. When Todd was in the hospital he took off work multiple days to stay with him, and helped calm me down from getting hysterical and distraught that my baby had to go to the hospital.

He has been very patient and kind about my mental health issues, and throughout the nightmare of my miscarriage he did everything he could to console and comfort me. He listened to me pour out my heart and soul about what I was feeling; my grief and despair. I do not know how or why I have been given the gift of this man, but I am thankful. Brian’s empathy and compassion has been a balm and solace to me this year.

We started out friends, and it is great to know he is still a friend to my heart. Brian deeply loves me, and I carry his love with me where ever I go. I love him so.

I had myself all worked up into a ‘woe is me, no one wants help me’ frame of mind but felt too proud and stubborn to ask him for help. But he stepped up and helped me without my saying a word, it was really sweet.
