The more I lean, the stronger he seems to grow and in fact says that it makes him want to be a better man, but he is the best man I have ever known. That is one thing I have to work on & we talked about that some today, accepting things he does for me with grace, because I don't want to be a drain. So I need to follow your good example :)Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03940211128244967387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-82386043473569031712012-08-20T08:58:53.811-07:002012-08-20T08:58:53.811-07:00That should be "and he went on to expound&quo...That should be "and he went on to expound" not "and he went on out expound."

You belong to me." And he went on out expound on what exactly that means. When he finished I turned to him and asked "Is that how you want it?" And he replied "Yes, of course!" I smiled and snuggled into his embrace. Like you, it seems to me that it must be too much, that I must be a burden to him. But, that's not how Michael views it at all. I think it actually strengthens him when I lean on him. I'm not sure it really makes sense to me, but I guess we compliment each other, and it works, so I try not not question it so much anymore. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-4918224890195307412012-08-19T20:38:46.477-07:002012-08-19T20:38:46.477-07:00Ward and I just had a conversation about that the ...Ward and I just had a conversation about that the other night, Susie, that I thought he liked that I was free enough to cry with him. His response is immediate and sincere, and very comforting. Yes, definitely, distance is not at all allowed,and Ward would much prefer a messy interlude than anything unspoken between us. <br /><br />My life experience has been that people turn away when you need. And that is hard to wrap my head around, too, this man softens so much and feels a genuine need to make everything right. Sometimes I don't know how to react to that, but his love and consistency has made that easier, and now it is something I am learning to accept with grace and gratitude, instead of fear and suspicion. <br /><br />I love it too, so very much, and I am so grateful for Ward's presence and strength in my life.

It is so hard to wrap my head around, the fact of all this and that he finds my tears feminine and sweet. I sure am thankful that he was made this way though, b/c I love it!Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119037021959690783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-67009979643665167542012-08-19T10:29:57.731-07:002012-08-19T10:29:57.731-07:00SirQsMLB, thanks so much.

That's one of the best things I think about our little blogland community - that we can see we're not so odd with our thoughts, worries, concerns, wants, needs and desires. It's always wonderful to have some sort of concurrence, especially when it is something emotionally charged that we are struggling with.
