The Other Half

No this is not a post on bashing your better half. This is about love, trust, honesty, and openness. Over the last 12 years that I have been with my husband. We have met a lot of couples that at the end of the day are not true to one another. I see the one side without the other around and then a whole new side when they are together. It saddens me to witness that some couples live different life's outside of their relationship. That they can not be the true person they show the world but choose to hid or change who they are for the one they want to spend the rest of their life's with. 

Why hid who you are from the one person you shouldn't be hiding from? Your other half should know you better then any one else. They should know all the little jokes you have with your friends and then more. There shouldn't be anything that you can do with your friends that you can 't do with your other half. If there is either A. you shouldn't be doing it and you should be respecting your others half  wishes or B. find the other half to you that wouldn't care if your doing it and/or even better are doing it right along with you.

Find the one that you want to run around the world with screaming at the top of your lungs that you love each other. Find the one that you lay down with at the end of the night and recap your day. Down to the side jokes your BFF told you. Find the one that tells you about the "guy talk" at work. Find the one that if your buddy said hey remember last week when.... that you wouldn't go running over to cover their mouths or want to sleep on the couch. Find that one that you just can't wait to tell everything to. 

I wanted to write this post tonight because recently I went somewhere with my husband and he told me a little about some "guy code" that he has at work. We even played this "code" together and I just laughed. It wasn't till he said the code in front of me and some of the guys he works with that it hit me. I am a rear person that has the inside to my husbands true life. I, me, I get to know it all. Now knowing that I knew "the code" made one guy blush, another walked away, and the other stood there and said the code about something else. Then we laughed. I asked my husband if any of the others shared this code with their other halves and he said NO. No one else other then us (his work buddies) knows what that means. I kinda felt honored at that point.

Its been things like this that made me realize I feel sorry for those that feel that they have to hid who they are. I feel sorry for the couple that at the end of the night they truly don't know each other. So I dare you to be truly open with your other half. I dare you to share all the little codes in  your life with your partner. I dare you to be you-er then you with your other half. Enjoy your life and the life you choose with your other half. Treat your other half like your best friend and if you can't then find the one that you can be.
