Gotta Love the Army, Gotta Love my Hubby

R and I had a short talk about this couple who are very close to us when he was home last Sunday. This couple has a tampuhan/fight/issue. We don't know the real score but they're obviously not okay. Then earlier while doing the laundry, I realized that I'm blessed to have my husband.

Clockwise from left: Cadet no more, first time to hold his baby, one random day in the bunks and Sophia's 1st Simpsons-themed party.

Don't get me wrong, we're not a perfect couple. He's not a perfect husband. He is actually somewhat an a-hole.

At first you would think he's a shy guy, but don't be fooled. He's just a snob. When he doesn't want to talk or make chika, he won't find any good reason why he has to. Unlike me, who gabs even at sleep. R is known as the deadma king. He used that superpowers to his mom, sisters, friends, ex-girlfriend and to me, his wife - a lot of times. He's rude, too. Oh, you might hate him if I'll enumerate what he used to tell me when we had fights.

But you know what? I love him to bits.

He plays with our girl whenever she asks him to. He continues driving even if I have already slept on him, haha. He offers spa dates because he knows it's what we need most. He doesn't question where his salary goes. Even if he can't help that much when he's here, he won't go anywhere if it's my laundry day. And most of all, he wakes up when I ask him for some husband "duties". Dapat lang! LOL.

Being an Army wife can sometimes be good, too. Because he's a tough guy at work, he's a softie at home. Because he's always away, it's like the first time we met once he knocks on the door. Because he's tired of tasteless dish in the mess hall, he appreciates whatever I prepare for him. 

I'm blessed to be married to my kind of guy. ♥

I would love to read great things about your husband, too, despite him being such a jerk sometimes! Share it with me in the comments.

  1. haha :P when I read "My husband is an a-hole, most of the time." on your FB page, I thought you 2 were fighting :P Had fun reading this post :)

    My hubby also loves to act tough at work but not an a-hole, as you put it :P I bet he does his job fine because he's always one of the favorite guys among the many wardens he's been under (true enough, Zedi's got at least 5 wardens as ninongs/ninangs) because they volunteered! LOL

    We do argue from time to time because he can be so insensitive. He's born unromantic haha so I've never EVER received flowers from him because he said waste of money daw kasi they just die haha but he's given me a whole yard of fruit trees and allowed me to plant flowers - that's to show me that he's romantic daw kasi these plants don't just die after a few days :P

    best of all? he takes care of Zedi - except diapering and bathing - but I can count on him to be the yaya (we have none) when I need to work ;)

    1. My husband could be such a jerk. A real man kind of jerk. But he's soooooo malambing when he feels like it. ♥

  2. How cool is that that you had Simpsons birthday party! Well that's one show that me and my hubby loves so that's one thing we have in common. My husband is not malambing. But he cooks for me and does the laundry as well so super pogi points yun for him.

    1. My husband thought of that theme! Tapos he downloaded songs/music from known cartoon shows, yun ang background namin. :)

  3. My husband can be at a-hole sometimes too. He is not very malambing but he makes up for other things. He sometimes cook for me. And now that the yaya is on leave for one more week, he does the laundry too.

  4. I hate conversations with my hubby kasi I get no reaction at all. He forgets everything (as in he asks me from time to time kung tama ba ang pagkaka-alam nyang date ng birthdays naming mag-iina)

    But I love him being overprotective not just with the kids but also with me. I love him because he is a great father, though he's far.

    Haha with fulfilling husband duties!!!!! ;) Great job Mr. Army Guy, you make the Queen satisfied. lol

  5. You're so funny describing your husband! Pero mine is also like him in some ways. Akala mo shy pero hindi naman, he's just keeping to himself and doesn't want to get to know you. Unless you're doing something interesting or have the same interests, he will not talk to you or befriend you!

  6. Our hubby has something in common pala, tahimik, deadma and knows how to do chores. =)

  7. You got me on "He's actually an a-hole" hahaha...True, there are just so many things that I also find annoying in my hubby. But when I really think about it, some of these things are actually what made me fall for him as well. Ironic noh? :)

  8. Well that’s what we do, we fight… You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you’re back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. -Noah Calhoun, The Notebook

    Parang ganyan lang kami. :)

  10. My husband is such a pain in d a** also! I hate it when we eat and he makes a lot of mess in the table. When we sleep and he drops all the pillows on the floor and how he can sleep with the messy bed. :( I can never win an argument with a lawyer husband, but still I love him of how makes me feel so special.

  11. Natawa naman ako dun sa he's an a-hole kasi ganyang ganyan ang husband ko and he's in the army also. Siguro kasi they don't know how to shift gears, feeling nila lagi sila nasa office na sinusunod ng mga sundalo nila pero super bawi naman kapag narealize nila na mali sila. Hehe. Hay, I love my army man din.

  12. Why do men has that silent/ deadma effect in common? Specially in times of a husband and wife fight?

    Anyway, I love my hubby so dearly bec he has been the most patient person I have ever seen. And mind you, he stay at home all the time to take care of the kids and me, no kwentuhan time, basketball time and tambay time sa labas..kahit 5 minutes lang. He doesnt drink and smoke. He said that he rather take care of us than to stay out para lang makipagkwentuhan or palipasin ang oras. WHen he is at home, all chores are divided equally, minsan mas marami pa nga siyang ginagawa kesa sakin.

    Thank you for your post , I was able to recall how lucky I am.
