There's a sentence I never thought I'd have to say

My husband doesn't know my name.
My maiden name is not terribly uncommon, but it's spelled differently than the way most people would spell it. Then I went and hyphenated it when my husband and I got married, so most of the world is confused by my name. Understandable.
Today, my husband is filling out some paperwork, and called me for help. I had to walk him through my name, the fact that my last name is hyphenated, and the spelling and punctuation of it. And his questions indicated that perhaps he doesn't actually know what a "hypen" is, so I finally gave up and e-mailed it to him to cut and paste.
We've been married four years.
You've got to be kidding me.

We had been married for 5 years when my husband had to put my full name on something. He put my middle name as Veronica. It's not, it's Valerie. He also mixed up our children's dates of birth when he registered them in a new school.
We were going on holiday with my son and his girlfriend who is of Chinese parents but born in England. We knew her as Diane. She had to have her name on the travel documents as they appeared on her birth certificate. It was a Chinese name and she didn't know it and had to ring her brother to find out what her name was.4 -

Why reward him.1 -
I just told my husband that I love him.
And that I forgive him for going to the wrong airport to pick me up 11 years ago.

I never remember what date we got married but OH does. He calls it 'black Thursday'. It can't be all bad though, we have been married 40 years6

Maybe he's a bit dyslexic0

My husband has never forgotten my birthday, our wedding anniversary, the day we met, or any other significant date in our relationship. AND he takes me to lunch every Friday AND he buys me flowers every Friday (he calls it "Flowers Friday"). He always opens doors for me, never allows me to carry in more than my fair share of groceries, helps me with all of the household chores (even laundry) and takes care of all of the bills. He's AMAZING. Yes, I'm bragging because I went through 2 horrible, failed marriages before I found him and I'm one lucky b*&tch and realize it! Positive enough for you?

Damn..I would be mad, all that money spent on flowers. I'm such a romantic though.
Oh, and I got it right the first time. I win. BOOM0 -

He doesn't get the super expensive ones. Just a small bouquet from the grocery store. And if my flowers are still alive from the previous week, he doesn't replace them. It's less than $10 per week.0 -
Heck , I barely know my own name.3

$10/week=1 extra Frye bag a year.
I'm messing with you though. It's nice that he does that. I don't like flowers. Only flowers I tolerate are the ones for Mother's day. Cant wait til kid is old enough to be like "okay son, you can cut this s*** out"1 -

He's really a dream come true. We're perfect for each other. I can honestly say I never thought I'd end up truly happy after what I went through with the first 2 relationships, but I got super lucky! We met when we were 38 and 36, respectively. There are still great men (and women) out there in the world!3 -
Not a husband story, but a dad one.
My dad had to call my work looking for me during a family emergency one day. He didn't have my cell number with him and he knew where I worked so he just looked up the number and called my office.
He asked for me by my full first and maiden name. No one had a clue who he was talking about. I was the office manager so he eventually just said "The woman who is your boss" to the receptionist.
Once he transferred to me he was berating my receptionist when he said "Don't they know who Lucille ______ is?"
He had asked for me with my maiden name - which is long and German. No one calls me Lucille and no one knew my maiden name because...
I had been married 17 years at that point.8 -

does he hold your purse too?
Nope. He's not one of those types. He's still a MAN. But he'll buy me a new Coach bag for my birthday or Christmas if I show him which one I want!0
