Stop comparing husbands, because you never know what lies behind closed doors!

Familiarity breeds contempt. We’ve all heard it said. What if I said Familiarity breeds Indifference.
We know our husbands like the back of our hands. We know the not so
good and the even worse. But what if we only see others when they are
on their ‘best’ behavior?

When you are out with another couple, do not be sucked into thinking
how much nicer Betty-Lou’s hubby is compared to yours. Husbands are
better behaved in front of guests. Aren’t we all? Do you tell all your
friends at the Junior League every thing Hubster does wrong? Neither do
they! So stop comparing your big lug with other women’s husbands.

For all you know, Mr. Smith down the street may have a Napoleon
Complex and flip out if the towels aren’t straight. What about Cute-Dad
in the carpool lane? For all you know, the Mrs. may have to dress up in
a gorilla costume and dance an Irish jig for him.

Yes, your Big-Lug leaves his dirty boxers all over the floor, he
leaves chest hair on the bar of soap (gag), and teaches your babies to
burp the national anthem, but in the grand scheme of things- it’s not that
bad. Don’t let yourself get sucked into the trap of rumination over all
the things that are negative. Learn to focus in on what you love about
him. Remember what you focus on will gain more and more strength in
your life.

Love, Allison

Conversation continues at The League. See you there!
