Why husbands can really be wonderful sometimes

[nubianamy]

I wanted to do a parallel thread with the "Why husbands really suck sometimes" thread.

Last night my bf and I went to couples therapy, as we have been for the past few months. I was hungry going in (bad idea) and clearly hormonal, because I started yelling at him after our session was over. Then I gave him the silent treatment all through dinner (he took me to my favorite restaurant and bought me food). Then we walked across town to our Bradley class.

Just as we were entering the building, he stopped me, looked into my eyes, said, "Maggi, I love you, and I never want to be without you." He actually got down on his knee and proposed! Ring and everything. I was floored!! I guess he must REALLY like me!

Later I laughed and said, "Well, whenever I'm mad at you, remember all you have to do to cheer me up is propose!"

Awwww!! Congrats to you both!! Yes, they ARE wonderful sometimes, most of the time in my case, aren't they??

[CawMama]

That made me cry...

How cool! Congratulations! And good for you two for going to couples therapy BEFORE you get married, shows something very awesome in him that you are lucky to have.

Hey Maggi,

I just realized you only live like an hour away from me. PLAY DATES!!!

[nubianamy]

Oh, absolutely. You are always welcome to come play with me and the four other women in my cohousing community who are giving birth in 2006!!

[Tine]

Congratulations! So many happy things to look forward to!

[Smileyllc]

Yeah Maggi, like you need ANOTHER play date when there are so many women having babies

I'll keep the 2 3/4 year old DD playing with the new one!

Maggi's gettin' hitched!

Congratulations, Maggi! What fun news. Thanks for sharing it.

I think you clearly picked a good one--couples therapy, out to dinner, childbirth classes, and romatic marriage proposal all in ONE EVENING? Double enough to make most men run and hide! Mine would be cowering in the corner after just two of those things put together. You're starting out on the right foot!

warmly,
Kam, mamamama! to Meg and one more

[nubianamy]

Kam! He definitely is a good one. I think I'll keep him.

Congrats!! Men can truly be wonderful sometimes can't they?

[HappiLeigh]

Awwwwwwwwwwwww...
That's wonderful!!!

(Wish I could shrink those glasses of champagne so they'd be a little more appropriate to the amount we can drink. )

You and BF are giving birth to a whole family...truly!

[nubianamy]

Thanks, everyone!

[RedOakMomma]

Awwwww....CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a memory!

Which restaurant were you at? (former Ann Arbor-ite here)

[MamaChel]

Congrats! That's just wonderful!

[nubianamy]

We were at Seva, the vegetarian restaurant on Liberty.

Ann Arbor says hi!

[AppleCrisp]

So what does the ring look like??

[yvonnemlv]

oh how small worldish.. I am a former ann arborite too, heheh Although it's been like 11 years since I have been there. Is there still Washtinaw Dairy?

[nubianamy]

Ahwuko, the ring is silver with a Celtic knot design (he knows I didn't want a sticky-uppy ring or an overpriced diamond!). The wedding ring will be similar but in gold.

Yvonne, yes! Washtenaw Dairy is still there. I do love living in this city.
