True Love

So how do you know when you are in love? I have the answer. Last night Anna decided to buzz my hair again. She seems to like it short. Later that evening she said, "Alex, can I say something to you without hurting your feelings? What I mean is that I don't want you to be sad." Sure Anna, what's up? "Alex, you have gained too much weight. I want you to lose your gut and get rid of that awful triple chin. I agreed to the constructive criticism and then made a big mistake. How much do you want me to lose? She wants me to lose 25 pounds. She then went on to say that if she were overweight that I would get upset and would want her to lose weight. Contemplating on the idea of my wife's statement, I agreed that I would be all over her if she was overweight, so I am bound and determined to lose the weight!! I told her that I would start after the weekend since I was going to be eating out for breakfast and lunch on friday. I guess my point is that you know you're in love when you can tell your husband that he needs to lose the weight, or else! The only kick to my pants is that Anna was serious this time and wasn't joking. I guess she really means it this time. I guess I am up to the challenge of losing weight before the Oregon coast. By the way, I did get in a good discussion with my partner the other day. We both made it clear after the intense confrontation that either of us still don't agree on certain subjects and that's awesome. We went on with our morning and it has been a great week since. Don't you love those kind of love, hate relationships! Later, Alex
