My Husband is attracted to my independence and happiness
[As all partners should be]
I've been on antidepressants for the first time in my life for the past few months, and while everything has not been perfect, I can say I am definitely better than I was before. Lately I've been able to get back into my hobbies, keep up with chores, and generally just feel okay. One of the things I've noticed (and want to brag about) is how my husband can't keep away from me, especially when I'm doing my own thing.
I'll be singing, folding laundry on the other side of the house, swinging my legs in the air sketching, or writing something dumb, and then he just appears. He can be nefarious. He's scared the shit out of me multiple times with a sneaky ass grab. And then sometimes he comes and silently joins my chore or activity, and whenever I ask him "what's up" he just says something along the lines of "nothing, just want to be here."
When you've been in your head about your physical and personal worthiness for so long its easy to feel unwanted, ugly, and annoying. I've been trying to give him space from caretaker burnout by doing my own thing. Its just ironic that by leaving him alone hes even more obsessed. This is rambling a bit, but I am incredibly grateful to have him in my life. I can feel the love radiate off of him just from seeing me happy. I want to keep getting better for him. There's always going to be cloudy days but for the most part things keep getting brighter.
