I'm not going to name names in this entry, but I think I'm going to have to remove a couple of "friends" from my FaceBook. Sometimes when I log in and see some of their messages to one another pop up on my home page there, I just want to gag. Things like this:
"Honey, I love love love you!"
"Ditto to you, baby! You're a sexy thing!"
"You are just the sweetest husband in the whole world!"
"I'm so lucky to be married to such a wonderful, precious woman as you!"
Ok. Now, don't get me wrong and judge my opinions based solely on these 4 examples.
I think it's WONDERFUL that two people can be so much in love after almost 20 years of marriage. But, PLEASE, seriously...why all the sappy, sugary, sickening sweet stuff all over FaceBook??? (And there are a LOT of them...EVERY DAY!)
Ugh. Gag.
Here are the two thoughts that race through my mind when I see their sappy, sugary comments to one another:
1. They really honestly do feel this way about one another...ALL the TIME.
OR
2. They want everyone to THINK they feel this way about one another...ALL the TIME.
Either way, it drives me batty.
But, then I think, "Why does it bother me so much?" Because it just totally rubs me wrong and gets on my nerves...but WHY?
Honestly, who cares??? Good for them, you know?
The alternative is not so pleasant to think about....
am I jealous?
Hmmm...I wonder sometimes. Maybe that's it. Not that I would want Muftak to set up an account on FaceBook just so he could leave me sappy messages, because, heaven knows, I wouldn't leave syrupy messages on his FaceBook!
But maybe I'm just a little jealous to see that level of "sweet nothings" in a marriage that's almost as long as mine and Muftak's.
That got my mind detouring WAY off the beaten track, and I started thinking about relationships in general.
Did you ever notice that there are some relationships out there where the two people involved never seem to have to work at making it work? They're always supportive of one another. Always sugary sweet with one another. Always holding hands or putting their arms around one another....
???
Then there are others that WORK all the time on the relationship...and you can tell they work on it all time. And I'm not talking, they worked on it for the first 10 years and not things have kind of levelled off. I mean, they've been married for years and years and years and every day is work.
Which would you rather be in?
And here's a hint for the guys since it's Valentine's Day tomorrow:
You don't have to spend an arm and a leg on roses or whatever else for your significant other. Seriously. The best gifts I have ever gotten from Muftak involve very little in the way of $$$, but a lot in the way of thought...which is more important anyway.
One year, he bought me some Hershey's kisses and made new tags for them on the computer. Each tag started with "I love you because..." Simple and cheap!!! But it made me cry.
So, remember, guys, if you treat HER like a princess, she'll treat YOU like a king!

OK, I think I better treat her like a Queen if I want to get in on some of that King action.
Yea, that's kinda like PDA (Public displays of affection) fine your hot for each other-good for you- but I don't need to see it. Get a room!
That is the kind of stuff that Mitch saves for Google Talk. But he does hold my hand and puts his arm around me and cuddles with me. I wonder what he is going to do tomorrow, I know Hawaii should be enough, but I still wonder if he will do something...is that bad?
I'm with you- PDA'a make me uncomfortable (heck, I'm the geek that gets embarrassed watching people kiss on tv :-S) & I get the feeling something is trying to be proved- my humble opinion :-P
I am too busy laughing to type real well right now! It's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one that thinks "Gee...get a room." In the sermon yesterday I talked a little bit about humans being one of the very few of God's creation that "mates" in private. Sex and all of its displays are meant for intimacy between two people...it's not there for the entertainment of anyone who happens to walk by and catch the TV screen..or wherever. Some of it I think is personality...but I feel like this about couples that you see that CONSTANTLY text or call each other. I was traveling with a friend recently and she called her husband 12 times on that trip...and he called 6 times. Stuff like "WHere are you" "Whatcha' doing." If my husband did this I wouldn't feel loved...personally, I would feel stalked. Oh well...to each his own.
