Men — dads, brothers, husbands, friends — sometimes fail to appreciate a holy hug. . .but you understand: You are a multi-faceted woman. A jewel.
It is a well-known fact among men that we multi-faceted women can, at times, be moody. Men don’t get us. Even married guys don’t get their wives. Really, how hard can it be?
If you could see me now, my mischievous smile (think: Cheshire cat) and wink would tell you I’m kidding.
But you knew that already.
Because — if you’re married, now or then — you’ve been there.
I’m comfortable with crazy. The Hubs is not. I think he thinks I’m two Romaine leaves short of a Caesar salad. Bad joke. 
He’d use other words:
All meant lovingly.
Of course.
Didya see that wink again?
“Why are you slamming cabinet doors, Lucy. You’ll break the hinges.”
So you care more about stupid hinges than my feelings.
SLAM. SLAM.
“Don’t you think you’re overreacting.”
SLAM. SLAM.
No, I’m not overreacting.
SLAM.
I hurt. I can’t be a robot like you. Just because I feel emotions, Mr. Robot, doesn’t mean I’m weak or volatile or PMSing.
It means I’m real
and
I’m sick of stuffing emotions because stuffing emotions makes me sick
and I want to be whole
and hugged.
I need a sense of belonging.
Bad.
You do too. Thank God you belong to him. You are a jewel. A pearl. Precious. Our heavenly Father understands your needs. He loves you deep.
Q4U: What about you? Do you need a hug?
You Are Loved,
I’ve been married forever (27 3/ 4 years) – at one point I learned 2 things 1) That if I tell God to show him how I’ve been hurt and show me where I missed it, too – my guy comes and apologizes. Kind of weird but it works. 2) When I need hugs, I tell him – but he gave me a guy that understands my hurts better than myself sometimes. Of course, I hate it when he tells me that I need to just “forget it” – to “get over it.” Now that is a guy thing that girls just don’t get!
Flucy, if I were close enough, I’d come give you the biggest hugs ever! And since I probably can’t get an image inserted here, I’ll give you my version of a cyber hug… ……..0……../
PS I think the purple-haired one fits me! LOL
I need a hug! My favorite time of the day is when I hug my dear hubby at night!
THanks. Tears came to my eyes with that one as well as a smile. I naturally close kitchen cabinets to hard, especially when I am mad. I have stuffed my emotions inside my heart and head for so long now, that it feels good to be free to share.
THANKS!
