Someone reposted this and said it would break the hearts of average women to read what it’s like to be, what did he say, at the “top of the pecking order of women”. Oh dear.
A response from the most plain Jane average woman on earth:
The experience she writes about is magical. I’m so happy for this woman and for the love she experiences. I remember when I learned I’d never be the most beautiful woman in the room. Many many years ago when I was much younger my uncle was dying of cancer and we went to say goodbye. He was high on pain medicine at the end. My sister and I entered the room and he said it was “Lu and her sister, the beautiful one of the three”. I remember the awkward silence grew and I realized what he’d said. I started laughing and the tension eased. How could I be hurt? My sister *is* the beautiful one. Always has been. I was always the muddy blonde with the congenitally malformed legs. Short. Average. My sister is gorgeous. This isn’t the part where I say I got all the personality and she got the looks. She got it all. She is brilliant. A great mother. Her beauty detracted nothing from her whatsoever. She is interesting, witty, a genuinely delightful human. My heart didn’t break when I heard that from my uncle. I was born with an innate sense of my own worth. It never occurred to me I wouldn’t marry and be a mother. That I wouldn’t be loved. It seemed so obvious. Hell I like me surely other folks will too. It’s not that God made up for my average-ness so this is a story about how smart I am to make up for it. I’ve been loved well I’m in competition with zero women. My husband looks at me in a way that lights me on fire. He’s my everything. I’m his home. You don’t need to be all that special to receive and give love. You can be just like me. Perfectly average and perfectly loved. I think the original post from the gentleman is wrong. I hope every woman reading this feels this much loved and cherished. Swooned over. I’ll be falling asleep next to the man who gave me my last name, my kids, and this home in spite of my limp, my snark, and all the rest that makes me human.
Happy anniversary, Brittany ❤️
Marry someone you’re obsessed with… emotionally, physically, and sexually.
Our 6 year wedding anniversary was on Saturday.
He asked me to pack a bag and be ready by 3pm.
A black car pulled up to our valet.
My husband was carrying a leather duffel bag, some gift bags, wearing aviators and linen. Looking hot as ever.
We put our phones away and had a deep conversation. Car rides are for sexual tension.
He took me to a breathtaking beachfront hotel in Sunny Aisles. 5 diamond award winner.
After a tour of the property, the manager brought us to our suite. My jaw dropped. It was the most beautiful (and large) hotel room I’d ever seen. The blue ocean beyond the balcony stretching as far as the eye could see. Rose petals and swan shaped towels on the bed. Chocolate covered strawberries, flowers, fruits, and gifts.
Since Iron was the theme, I gave him a handmade pocket knife of copper and Damascus steel special ordered from a blacksmith. He gave me a stunning necklace and the sexiest lingerie from Agent Provocateur.
We swam in the ocean. I sat facing him in the shallow water and let the waves rock us back and forth. The spa was world-class. I showered under the “rainforest,” put on a dress I knew he’d love that showed off my necklace.
The Italian restaurant was the best I’ve had. The service, from the waiters to the beach and hotel staff made me feel like royalty. But honestly, we took the dessert to go.
At 6 years, our passion is more intense than ever, and we’ve become experts of each other.
We fell asleep to the moon over the ocean, the night breeze blowing the drapes as Midnight in Paris played faintly on the TV.
I woke in a state of pure bliss. We had seven more hours. And we made the most of it. Bed. Beach. Spa. Food. Then we went home, excited to see our baby girl.
It was a honeymoon all over again, but somehow even better.
Forever grateful to be married to the love of my life.
