My husband is my very best friend. He is thoughtful and kind and generous and smart and funny and just all over awesome.

Back in 2008 I lost my job and I've not been able to work. During this I've been battling the bureaucratic nightmare of social security disability (it finally went through). He works in special ed at a high school and his pay is shit but we had a lot of savings in place. At no point ever has he made me feel anything but loved and supported. Someone on reddit once said something to the effect of "if you want to know what sort if partner you have, imagine how they would act if you were out of work for a year" (or something like that, it's terribly paraphrased but the intent is there). This whole situation has been burdensome on both of us and I can often see how tired he is, but still he loves me and is so very kind. That gives me all the motivation I need to do my therapies and other things so that one day soon I will again be the productive wife he deserves.
