As far back as I can recall at this present time, I always wanted to marry a cowboy, be whisked away into the sunset, be drenched in sweat, dirt, and hard work.... Well I guess when I was that young I didn't think about it like that.When I was that young I was just drawn to the accent, to the smile, to the politeness, the heroism, to the romance, to the fairytales on t.v., the fairytales spun around me in this big ol' world.
I was surrounded by it, the accent I mean, the cooking, the stories. My grandparents were born in the mountains about two hours away from where I live now. We would go up and visit, and my favorite times was when they would drive to special places in their past, to show us grandkids what it was like for them. My grandmother's grade school you could see from the highway, I am not sure if you can still as I haven't been up there in years.
We would drive around for a bit, me listening to the stories of their childhood, being drawn in by the beauty of nature around me. I think that's what spoilt me, but not in a bad way, no, not in a bad way at all.
When I got older I had my fads of different music, different clothes, I remember Thinking "Oh why did I even like that?" Well now I think about and do wonder why I liked some of the things I did....
I remember maybe seven years ago thinking about what my dream house would be like and where. I wanted it far enough away from the city to be away from the traffic and loud noise, to have to drive a bit to get to the city, but close enough to be able to take a trip there and back without spending too much of the day away from home. I wanted a husband who I could take care of, a farm I could boast, and so many more things...
Then life changed again, I wanted something different... But let me fast forward, through high school, after it, well I realized a few years ago when things went sour with friends of mine, that I had always knew who I was, who I wanted to be, and the type of man I would fall in love with.
My husband. I know some girls feel like their girlfriends come first, boys come second, but for me, when I met my husband, and when my friends didn't seem to like him, seemed to be distant, well I just knew who I was going to choose... Him. It made me think, it let me discover who I was, sure I cried and blamed myself for the loss of friendship with my friends, But I wouldn't go back, and I wouldn't change it for the world.
My husband is my world.
Who is your world?

great discussion. nice story.i hope this post gets through as i am using only my mobile. anyways i used to dream also living in a place just outside the city but not to far away from so we can have access to big hospitals when we need to opay the doctor a visit. it is quite sad that your friends didn't accept your partner. anyways i have not found that special someone yet with whom my world will revolve around. but i kinda accepted my situation. while still single i wanna have my world in the real world. meaning i wanna go places and see beauty of nature and different countries.with some friends.

Yep it came through just fine! Well I forgot to elaborate my thoughts were churning so fast! I do live out in the country with my husband and we are about 20 minutes from the next county, which is the nearest place with a city city.
I'd like to move a little further into the county here, but at the same time it's great right where we are. I have a feeling when we go house hunting (for rent) we'll be off either of two major roads here.

What a wonderful love letter! But, I am a bit surprised that after 2 weeks when this discussion was started, your hubby has not put in a response here. I bet you've embarassed him a bit.
Anyway, for me, my world are my children. Although sometimes they drive me up a wall by just being kids, I guess that world just include all of it!

Me, myself and I is my world. Wait, don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to be snobbish. When I treat myself as my world, I will take care of myself, I will give a good care of it.
I will listen to myself, compromise with it, talk with it, let it feel the warmth of love. Accompany myself when I am alone. Let me cry when I want, let me laugh as I will not be here anymore. I won't be angry to myself when I make mistakes. I don't want to push myself so hard to accomplish all the things fast.
If you don't love you, who will love you better?
If you don't care about you, who will care about you?
Everyone will come and go, but not yourself. He is always here, accompany you, and support you..

It's great that your husband is your world. I would like to say the same of my partner. We love each other, and I think that we will see our days through together.
In a slight digression to get to my answer, she has a son of 27, who has been her reason for living in what was an otherwise unhappy home, before meeting me. I know that I am not an integral part of that relationship: not that the relationship between the three of us is poor.
But it'd left me with the knowledge that I am still outside. So really, I don't feel that there is anyone who I could call my world.

It seems to me that she just needs time, from what I can tell of what you've said she loves you very much, but with anyone whose come out of any bad situation, it takes time to open up, if ever completely. The fact the two of you are together means something, she loves you.
You seem like a patient and wise man.
(sorry my response to you is bland, it is late and my mind has decided to wander)

I think that that is exactly how it should be. It is in a woman's DNA to be a wife and mother. The whole nesting thing. I think we all go through our fantasies and dreams when we are real young. Things always change and never turn out exactly how we think they are going to be. I am genuinely happy for you!

Lucky for you you got your cowboy already. Hey I wanted to be a cowboy but we have less cows here in my place. lol. So far, when someone here in my place calls someone a cowboy means that that guy is down to earth, he doesn't care much if he gets dirty in the job, or has to use the hands and not the spoon & fork when eating meals. WEll, as far as I'm assessing my own self, I can say that I'm a cowboyish man, harhar. Wish I could have a could cowgirl too,...

I wanted to be a cowgirl. I was raised around horses and began riding at the age of nine. I went to get the cows in for milking at 3:30 in the afternoon on horseback with the trusty dog. In my mind I wasn't getting the cows, I was driving herd across miles of Wyoming territory! So anyway after watching much TV and reading western novels I molded what I wanted in a man. I thought the list was way too long but I finally met him. He shares all of my values and can do anything. He can ride and rides like a cowboy, born to the saddle. Friends will always come and go, love should be forever. Yeah for us! We have found our lives, our world! Rock on girl!

As my concept happiness is the undying quest of life, the unquenchable thirst and the insatiable hunger of all human kind. Happiness is what we all seek for, what we long for. But can such bliss be nothing but an elusive state of mind, which is here one moment and gone the next or is such a positive outlook attainable for a lifetime?

I truly agree with you. I would like the world to know how proud I am and blessed to have a loving husband who's very supportive and a good provider. I can't really ask for more. We have certain things in common and most importantly we share the same goals and aspiration in life. We do have differences as unique individuals but oftentimes, we manage to resolve things in our own pace. Friends will just be there around the corner. But your husband is one special person in your life that you will never dare to loose despite all the odds and triumphs in life.
