Simon Is Going To Hate This Post

Because it’s all about him.

Anyone who knows my husband will know he’s a very private person who doesn’t like to talk about feelings or things like that.  I’ve known him for nearly 10 years, married for 6, and there are times even I am not sure what he is feeling.

But the one thing I can always count on is that he’s there.  Maybe silent, just being a shoulder, but there.

I am not an easy person to live with.  Forget the Fibro/Arthritis/Early Degenerative Disease/Mental Illnesses/Diabetes.  I wasn’t easy to live with before any of that was diagnosed.  Imagine how I am now?

It was just after Simon and I started chatting as friends on the ‘net that I got my first Mental Health diagnosis of Bi-Polar Disorder.  Which was wrong, but not the point of this post.  Anyway, when he found out Simon did some research on what that meant.  Just so he could be supportive.  I was engaged to someone else at that point, by the way.  He was just being a good friend.

And he’s been a good friend ever since. And an excellent husband.

He goes out of his way to help, especially if he can tell I am in pain.  He knows I often don’t tell him how bad it is, just because there is no point.  He has a job.  He has to go to it.  I have Fibro and have to take care of Adam. So sometimes I just don’t mention it.

But he knows me.  And he watches me wince as I lift Adam or even take the milk out of the ‘fridge.  And he does what he can.  Comes home early.  Leaves a bit late.  Takes Adam up to Daycare so I can have an extra hour to myself.

He’s not perfect, who is?  But he’s pretty darn close.

And I couldn’t do what I do, run Designed To A Tee, take care of Adam, run our house, do our finances etc etc etc if he wasn’t right there behind me the whole time.

And now, to make me even prouder, he’s officially a Teaching Fellow at the University.

The only problem is he expects me to call him Mr Fraser now.

Imagine if he becomes a Professor!!!  🙂
