Loving the imperfection...

I have married a man who is far from being perfect. And there are many things I hated about him but ended up loving them. Call me crazy but yes, I learned to love every imperfection that my husband has. He works away from home in a span of 6months and when he is at home there are many things I hated about him...to mention some, are those snores at night, his addiction to coffee, the toothpicks he can't live without and that habit of asking me where am I even if I am just around the house.
Yes, I hated when he snores at his sleeps, and I often complain, but ended up loving it for it simply means that he is beside me.
Yes, I hated it when he ask me to make cups of coffee for him, but I ended up loving it for it simply means when I make only a cup of coffee good for me, he is no longer at home and that I have to count months until he will be home again.
Yes, I hated those toothpicks he leave and place anywhere in the house after meals, at the side tables in our living room and bedroom, at the computer desk and etc. but I ended up loving it because when I could no longer see toothpicks anywhere in the house it simply means he is away again.
Yes, I hated it when he keep calling me and ask me where am I, though I am just around the house but I ended up loving it for it simply means he loves my presence so much that he don't want me to be out of his sight.
He is not perfect but I love his imperfection for it simply reminds me of the person that he is who I am madly in love with when he is not around.
Now, it's your turn to share your story of why you love someone's imperfection?

That was a good story of your life! thanks for sharing it with us~ anyway, i'm not married and still new in having a relationship. but my boyfriend is ALmost the real opposite of my dream guy. maybe i can say that out of 10 points he only has 3 of them. but those 7 flaws in him made me so much in love with him. :) because i really love him that's why i don't care whether he is perfect or not because he still is the only one who can make my life perfect even if it is built in imperfections. :)

whew!we almost have the same story. my husband is also away for 10 months to one year because of his work, and you are very right. i learned to love his imperfections and miss everything about him when he is away.
he also snores at night. he is very meticulous of the arrangement of the things inside the house. he would always make fun of me by hiding my bag when i am about to go to work, which always makes me late. his roosters outside the house which would wake me up early. his waking me up in the middle of the night just to say that he loves me. but when he is away, i miss all of these.
i miss the sound of his snores, because the moment i no longer hear it, it means that he is already across the globe and very much awake at that moment.
he is meticulous with the things so that when i see that things in the house got messy, it reminds me that he's not already around to fix it and put things in order. in the morning when i am about to go to work and find my bag at the locker where i put it every time i got home, it says that my husband is no longer around to hide it somewhere else.when he is abroad for work, he would take his roosters to his mother's house because nobody will take care of them at our house. so that when there are no roosters to wake me up early morning, it means my husband is not there to cook breakfast for me. and at the middle of the night, no one will wake me up just to whisper "i love you". much as i hate it when he was around, i could not wait the moment when he will be at my side again to do those things. how i miss him now. . .

Thanks for sharing your story here. And good for us that we come to learn loving their imperfection just as they love our imperfections as their wives...because even I , myself I have to admit that I have imperfections too. I don't cook foods for him because I don't know how but he cooks for me and he is the best cook...:) I don't do the laundry and he hires someone to do it for me, and etc...Loving each others imperfections makes us ignites more. And I love the idea that all those things I hated about him but learned loving those keeps me feeling like missing him all the time.Thanks again...
