LRT UNDER SAME ROOF III

[COG]

cog, quick question, did you ever tell your wife you would fight for her?

Yep! I remember the first time. It happened when we were separated, but still doing family things together. We were at a friends house one afternoon, several parents, kids, etc. I think it was somebody's birthday. Anyway, there's this single guy there. He's an officer, I won't say what branch. Anyway, he's a clean cut, burly, outgoing guy. He and my W spent quite a lot of time chatting, giggling etc.

At first it stabbed me like a hot knife in the chest to witness this. I just wanted to cease breathing, die and get thrown in a ditch to rot. So I took a break and went out front, sat in the car for awhile. I started thinking about it, and I realized I was friggin tired of being crapped on. I could sit back and let more crap get dumped on me, or I could stand and fight. So after awhile I went back in, with a different attitude.

I didn't create a scene or anything, but I just ignored my W and the other guy. I did my best to have a good time. After the party, when the time was right, I brought it up. I told her how it felt to watch her chatting with him. I also told her that I wasn't about to stand back and let another man have my woman. I'm a pretty low key guy, not a muscle man by any means, not a fighter at all, but she knows I have a little crazy streak. I looked her in the eye and told her that I'd tear that bastard into pieces. I told her that he'd probably beat the crap out of me but he'd have to kill me to get me to give up. I'd jump on his shoulders and tear his friggin head right off.

Every once in awhile I'll throw some brovado at her like that. I actually think she likes knowing that I'd go to battle for her.

I'm sure she questions my ability to perform these heroic acts, but she doesn't doubt my determination and lack of fear.

It was a good move for me, but I think the timing and delivery need to be just right, on Gods direction.

God Bless,
