All About My Imperfect Husband

And why I absolutely adore him anyways.

All About My Imperfect Husband
Korin Banks

Truth be told, life is hard. It is never ending with trials, tribulations, and insanity left and right. Some days you can get through without blinking, other days you can't blink hard enough to make it go by quicker. Most of my life I spent just trying to get through it, instead of cherishing it, with good reason.

Now I have this beautiful family and marriage that I love more then anything. I have had what one would consider a bad week, I've got more then half of my immediate family with health problems. Including myself. So It is nine o'clock on a Friday night and I realize I haven't even thought about an article. Not a word of anything. Writing is really important to me but life is overloading so I text my husband. I say "Im screwed. What do I do?" He, only half joking, says "Write about my awesomeness." So I am going to.

My husband isn't like some men, who are super romantic and says all the right things at the right times. Truth be told he isn't like the men who even try to think about it, and say the wrong thing. He is Robert. He does everything he can in his own way. You tell him to go left then right, he will go straight, then take a hard right just to get you to see it can be done a different way.

He is sarcastic, and has a twisted sense of humor. He sees things so differently then the rest of the world. Of course after almost a decade together, I've picked up on some of these things, just like I know I have rubbed off on him, which he will never admit. He has helped me learn how to better balance my life and myself. That's what a husband should do.

Pinky promises are our most sacred thing. He won't leave me to use the bathroom alone during a scary movie. He helped take care of my terminally I'll mother, and even gave a beautiful speech at her funeral. He loves to do the most in appropriate things anywhere and everywhere. He will say he doesn't care all the while figuring out a way to help you anyways. He will mind his business better then anyone I've ever met, but he will tell you the absolute truth about everything without thinking twice, even when you don't want to hear it. To call him my best friend would be an insult. He is so much more then that. He makes everyone a better person for knowing him. I promise you that. If you ever get the chance to know him, don't because I am a crazy over protective wife. But know that is just as awesome as he says he is. I hope everyone on earth finds someone to be for them, what he has been for our family.

Happy six year anniversary, I'm late but you know, lateness is my thing. You are a better husband and father then anyone I know. I appreciate you, I love you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
