The Newly Wed Myth

It might be hard to believe, but newly weds are not always dewy eyed, hand holding, love making machines. There will be times when you will look at the person sitting across from you and you'll think "so this is it, you and me forever and always." You'll even wonder what life would be like if you weren't married to them. I have been feeling disconnected from the husband all week and as much as I know it's because things aren't exactly peachy keen in my work life right now (yes, how you feel about work or friends will flow over into your married life) I couldn't help but wonder how different my life would be if I hadn't married him. I can picture my life without him, I'm not saying it would be any better, it would just be different. My work life would be much much better but I'd be horribly lonesome. Then just as I'm standing there, thinking, freezing my ass off, he reaches out and pulls me close to him. He pulls my hood up over my ears and rubs my arms till I'm warm again and in my mind the little light bulb goes off, "oh yah, that's why I chose him." When you feel disconnected, take a deep breath, stop worrying about everything else in life and let him in again, it'll come back to you, I promise.
