So tomorrow my husband is having a do! Meaning he has invited his Playstation Battlefield squad over for a barbecue. And I am so excited.
We just came home from shopping for the event. Walking around the supermarket was so fun. He carefully chose the meat, drinks, beers whatever. The reason I'm so exited? Well, when he and I met 15 years ago he was bad company. Drugs, Hells Angels and what have you. Never held a steady job. Quite the catch. But I love him.
During these past 15 years he has made a full 180 change. Got an education. My dad gave him a job at his company in the airport.
The only thing he had a hard time with was friends. When he and I started getting serious he dumped his old friends. Simply because they were idiots and bad influences. For a very long time he didn't have any friends. Through Playstation he got to know new friends. And those friends are coming over tomorrow. It's going to be a great party.
We can't have children so I don't know what it's like. But I guess I feel the same as any mother does when her kid is growing up and having his first party.
What I'm trying to say is. My man changed. Not for me. For himself. Turned his life around and came out the other side as a better person.
I love him!
Edit: wow gold :) thank you kind stranger. I'm totally overwhelmed by your comments. I was afraid I came off as a woman trying to change her husband to something he is not. I'm glad You all understood me. I love this guy. And I find it really amazing that I, a 44 year old woman still gets sweaty palms and heart flutter whenever I hear him coming home from work.
Update 1: uhhh! The guests has arrived :)
Update 2: party is a succes. I'm slightly drunk sitting around the campfire. Best party ever :) thank you all for the kind words :)
I got married relatively young (22) and a lot of my friends were still living the single life. This meant I spent a lot more evenings at home when my wife worked.
As I expanded my interest in video gaming, I met a lot of husband and fiancée who were in the same position. As time went on, we got to know one another and bonded over the silly things being married meant, support through the rocky roads and laughter in the high times.
Some of these folks, whom I've never met and will most likely never met, have become what I consider tried and true friends. So much so that when my wife's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer last August, these "gamers", whom I've never met, got together and sent my father and law a large prepared meal plan so he could eat well while still providing care for his wife.
In my experience, gamers are the same as anyone else. But where some fellas go to bars and clubs and bond over drinks and stories, we gamers spend our time at home with our wives or kids bonding over jokes about bosses, struggles in the office or the field and a mutual interest in another form of art.
