I have been pronouncing my husband's name wrong our entire relationship and he never corrected me. We were well into our marriage when I questioned the pronunciation and that's when he admitted to it. I have epilepsy and some brain damage because of it, so he thought I'd be self conscious if he corrected me...which I wouldn't be. To this day I still call him by his incorrect name because it's been ingrained into my head for over 10+ years. I've tried to make the change, but it's been unsuccessful. At the end of the day he doesn't mind.

When my husband and I had been together for over 10 years, married for 2 and we had a son together, we visited his grandfather's house.  His grandfather had a grand piano, and my husband sat down and just immediately started playing some incredibly beautiful song.  I was so stunned, I thought it must have been a Player piano and he was just pretending to play it.  Nope, he had taken years of lessons as a kid and just never mentioned it, and I guess we had just never been anywhere with a piano that he could play before.  It was wild.

I’ve been with my husband for 11 years. We just had our first baby girl a week ago and baby and I were hospitalized for a week after birth. A lactation consultant swung by my hospital room while hubby happened to be out getting breakfast for us. After helping me set up my pump and giving me some helpful advice about breastfeeding, she let me know that she actually went to high school with my husband. That’s when she told me a story from more than a decade ago, about how she was bullied a lot in high school, and she mentioned this one specific instance where a few bullies were blocking her from pulling out from her parking spot. She said that’s when my husband came sprinting across the parking lot, told them off and made sure she could get out safely. She said that was just one of several times my husband stood up and looked out for her in high school and that she’ll never forget it. I always knew my husband was a good man, but I just didn’t know he was knight in shining armor, “What Would You Do” John Quiñones level-good. It just made me love him that much more.
