Disrespect...
Something is troubling me greatly. I've talked to my friends about it, I've talked to my husband about it...I just don't get it.
I completely understand that there are unhappy marriages out there. I understand that there are husbands that are not as amazing as mine. I got lucky, yes, but I do my fair share of making our marriage work as well. As Dr. Phil says "Marriage is not 50-50, it's 100-100." Giving 100% of yourself as often as possible is really the way to make a marriage work and last. I would never be disrespectful of my husband, particularly not in a public forum.
But, there are some women out there in blogland who use their blogs to rip their husbands. Or, if not a ripping of their husbands, use their blogs as a forum for talking about their crushes on other men, their past love affairs, etc. Or post photos of scantily clad men on their blog. To me? That's so disrespectful to your marriage and the man who fathered your children. As my husband said? A guy doing the exact same thing would be labeled a chauvinist, a pig, sexist, disrespectful of his wife, etc. But a woman? People are laughing about it. It really disgusts me. and another thing? I surely don't want my daughter, or any of my children, seeing their Mama being disgusting and disrespectful to their father. Some role model.

I totally agree Marlene! Marriage is work......... hard work...... why get married if you aren't willing to work on it? What you think about shows the quality of your heart and I want my heart to be about the scantly clad husband of mine behind the closed doors of the bedroom :-)
I'm glad I have awesome people like you and Karin (and my parents) to learn from. If I paid attention to half the crap out there, I'd never be able to have a happy marriage in the future.
Thank you for being a role model!
