Golden rule of marriage.

If I hate someone my partner has to reciprocate the sentiment.

It is a problem in my marriage because I hate everyone (I enjoy hyperbole and exaggeration).

My husband is kind, forgiving and allergic to extreme forms of emotions and behavior.

I am working on it and I think there could be a chink in his armor which I am finding very attractive.

I wholeheartedly believe that the one you love should always take a hit for you, lay down their life for you, sacrifice their body and engage in mutual extreme dislike for the people who have been a bitch to you (Cinderella syndrome).

Growing up I was never allowed to mention that 4 letter word aloud. My father insisted on it.

I love deeply, but I never forget those who have hurt me intentionally.

By the way, I am dedicating this post to my fabulous friend, Paula who David and I both hold dear…may her journey provide serenity and peace. She will be missed.
