Brag up your spouse or SO here
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 11:24 AM by fishnfla
Yeah she's a Democrat and I'm one lucky guy......

Mrsfish is a 4th generation American of Irish/Italian/French heritage. She is 5'4' and 115 lbs, beautiful long dark hair and captivating green eyes. She is quick with a smile and laugh, loves music and to dance. She is one of the smartest people I have ever known. She'll be 40 next month,but she is one of those women who ages well.

She has given us 3 beautiful children and is a wonderful mother, she knows the ways of motherhood and family naturally, yet she has a hugely successful professional career, which is the modern way, I guess. She is very popular with her clients, coworkers and employees.

She is quiet as a church mouse on the flats and knows the importance of live bait and sharp hooks. She doesnt horse the big ones to the boat and keeps the rod tip up. Every fishing tourney we enter together, we win or place. Last weekend, she caught us a 6lb seatrout worth $750. Old cracker goes "I used to think you were just lucky, but I'm starting to figure you're a good fisherman" Thats bragging talk in these parts

Like I say she's a good Democrat, 'cuz she's got a kind heart and a good head on her shoulders. She laughs at all y'alls antics here in the lounge, and alot of the opinions I read in GD I hear from her first. She knows how to live, how to laugh, and how to love.

All in all, she'd rather be dancing, or sitting on Sand Dollar Island sipping Patron with her toes in the sand. How she got stuck with me I'll never figure, but I still remember that day 18 years ago she stepped off the elevator and I said to myself " Whoa! I'm gonna marry that girl"

EDIT: SO other? d'oh redundancy!

7. Yes! I've been waiting for this thread!
Mine is about 5'7-5'8 150 lbs, beautiful hair she changes all time. A very beautiful african-american woman who is 27.

She has 3 little boys from her 1st husband who love their mother alot and she loves them dearly. It really warms up my heart when I see her with them. We have only been together for 2 weeks but I have never met a woman like this in my life.

She tells me that I make her feel good even when she is stressed about alot of things, she feels she can openly express herself to me and there isn't anyone she feels that away around except her mom.

She makes me feel good inside by talking about how special I am too her, she appreciates everything I do for I her and tells me. I like that, knowing that my efforts are being recognized. She asks me what makes me happy, always tries to find ways to make me happy with her.

When she expresses her mind, it amazes me because her thinking and reasoning IS VERY similar to mind. When my ex was harrasing us and trying everything in her power to make her Not want to be with someone like me she didn't buy into it. She was too smart for it and talked to my ex in a very calm, non aggressive fashion. After that me and her laughed because she was telling me what she was saying and how she thinking when she did for example, My ex said I was supposed to met up with her after work and talk about our relationship but in my SO's mind she was thinking 'Why would he tell her to met up with him when he was taking me over to his house, I know he isn't retarded'

This girl just continues to amaze me everyday and I don't know how far we will go together but it has alot of promise and potential and I see me going further in life with this one moreso then any woman I ever been with.

There is so much more I could say in such a short period of time I've known her. I'm unsure if I love her but I'm falling more and more for her everyday! :bounce:

10. My husband
Is a genious especially when it comes to visual type stuff. That is good for us because that is my weak area. He is a perfect handy man. He is very physically strong adn can carry heavy items or me for significant distances. Even though he is an introvert like me, he can talk to almost anyone. He has always treated women with respectand genuinely treats women as equals. He also puts up with me even though I am neurotic.

16. Gladly!!!
He is the one who holds up for us...keeps it together.

In the beginning, he gave me a second chance. A second chance that I'm not sure I would have given if I had been in his position. He let me back into his heart.

He made my daughter his. He selflessly promised to care for her as his own blood. And he's kept that promise.

He never left as I went round the bend with grief, after too many losses in my determination to have a child. He never let on the pain that he felt. He told one friend. And then, on that wonderful August day...he stroked the head of his new son and talked him to sleep under the bright lights of the delivery room.

When I got sick, he was the one demanding answers to questions I was too afraid to ask, because I didn't want to be a "pain". He was the one who would pick up the charts and read through them. HE was the one on that awful evening when my lungs collapsed and my fever spiked to prod the doctors into doing something...never leaving my side, even though they told him too. And his words, and caresses, begging me not to give up. Not to leave him and "the babies".

And always, always, he is there for me. It took me a long time to realize the love he held for me, because he rarely speaks of it. I see it in actions, starting with getting up every morning to go out and work...all the while never complaining.


I could go on, you know. ;) :hi:

17. Up on Cripple Creek
She sends me
If I spring a leak
She mends me
I don't have to speak
She defends me....

To the extent that I'm semi-civilized today, she deserves full credit.

18. He's got a tremendous sense of fun
He'll never really grow old. He makes me laugh. He's a kick-ass guitar player, and brilliant in many ways. He loves his kids, and he loves his job. And he cares about people in a genuine, non-judgemental way.

Oh, and he's a Democrat. :-)

21. Awww, that's SO sweeeeeeet !!!
:hi:

Ok, my SO:
He wakes me up with a wagging tail and a lick on the nose every morning ... doesn't complain how long I take in the bathroom ...
greets me every afternoon with so much affection you'd swear I'd been gone a year ... encourages me to take care of myself by happily accompanying me on 4-5 mile walks every evening ... is extremely socially gracious and has friends everywhere we go ... keeps my feet warm on cold nights, lays next to the tub and listens attentively as I complain about my job, my family, whatever & doesn't tease me for how badly I sing in the shower ... doesn't care if we have nachos for dinner, as long as I share ... and asks nothing in return but that I love him & scratch his tummy every once in awhile.

:loveya:

23. Don't have time to say much
other than the fact that I am difficult to get along with at times and she has stood by me. We have had our problems but always seem to work them out. 15 years are down and many more to go. She's beautiful, sweet, caring and she has given me two of the most gorgeous kids in the world. Oh and she is a very blue democrat! Hates * with a passion!

Here are some pics.

25. reprehensor is my whole world.
Edited on Sat Apr-16-05 08:52 PM by fudge stripe cookays
Before I met him I felt like there was something wrong with me-- I gave my all to so many potential relationships, and they all fell flat. Maybe I was trying to hard.

With him, it all happened so naturally. I didn't even have to DO anything-- he was crazy about me, and just stayed that way, no hard work on my part at all.

He's liberal, and has supported me wholeheartedly through all my volunteering the last few years-- helped me host meetups, let me travel to far-flung destinations to volunteer or protest.

He has a personality that most people don't see, only me. He can be completely nuts-- he can make me laugh until I cry. It is what has kept me coming back for more all this time. No matter how bad I feel, he can make me laugh, and just calm me and make everything all better.

When I was at the hospital last month, he was right there with me, holding my hand, being strong for both of us, cheering me along as I had to drink disgusting barium, caressing my hair, helping me to the restroom, doing whatever needed to be done, being my rock. I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't been there.

He uprooted his entire life in Canada and moved down here to be with me, and I thank the higher power every day for bringing him to me, almost like magic.

:loveya:
