Thank you for sharing this! I love that this is happening for you and I’m happy to say I’ve had moments of this in my relationship as well. My husband has seen how much I struggle to get up and go to work sometimes. This is a part of my highly sensitive self that I struggle to make peace with but he saw this and suggested that we set aside some money for me to be able to take extra days off work outside of my allotted pto without feeling like I am burdening our finances. How healing it is for him to care for this part of me that feels so broken❤️

I have a very loving and caring husband. I am very thankful for our close relationship. Second marriage for both of us but we feel very compatible and had a very strong connection initially in the way that we felt just holding each other. But it took a lot of work besides this to become a couple. We are both grateful that we found each other and made it work. Sorry for the preface here… My love has been there for me in the worst of times and believed in my strength. When I was at my worst I would clutch his chest and he would stroke me to sleep. I was utterly scared and he’d did not turn away. I am very maternal in all ways. I was not able to have a child. I say to husband I now have a big baby—thank you for being my big baby and can love and care for… He is not afraid to be vulnerable. That’s all for now.
