my response: First of all my husband says "my life 'began' when I met you, and not "my life 'begun' when I met you", because saying the later is an example of improper grammar, and my husband definitely never engages in improper grammar.
Second of all, it might be bullshit for you, but it isn't for my husband. Claiming that you know how all other people think and feel is ridiculous, and extremely arrogant, pompous, and self-righteous. My husband has told me many times that before we met he felt that his life was somewhat boring, dull, vapid, and humdrum even though he did what many people would consider to be outrageous and exciting things. He said he almost felt like he was detached and unfeeling.
He says that when we met it was as if he finally became alive. He says he started seeing things in a brighter and more noticeable way, and his life became more exuberant and exciting. His friends have told me that they noticed this. They said before we met he was almost zombie like much of the time. He just didn't seem to really feel anything or have any emotions. They said after we met that changed and he became very enthusiastic and began showing emotions (most of which were joyful and happy).
Things were similar with me. My life before I met him was extremely unhappy and difficult. I felt like I was emotionally shutting down and becoming introverted. When we met I felt like I was coming back to life. Like him I was starting to open up more, and was feeling emotions, excitement and happiness again. We have had extremely happy, joyous, blissful, exciting, and successful lives since we met. We are deeply in love and enjoy making each other happy, satisfied, and content. My husband is an extremely romantic, loving, caring man. He says very romantic, imaginative, creative and loving things to me often, and I do the same with him (far more than just "I love you" and "I appreciate you"). We do things for each other all the time, and it makes both of us feel good doing so.
And just so you know JB . . . I don't know of a single feminist who has ever said, or feels "happy wife, happy life". The first time I ever heard that was on that silly show "Real Housewives of New Jersey", and the woman who said it isn't a feminist. She is more of a traditional wife, and obviously is lacking intelligence in many ways ba<x>sed on how she acts, and the goofy, incorrect things she often says.
