An Email Chain :
A : Heard some blast happened in bangalore ?
B: ya ..ya...even I heard and read ....in Malleshwaram near BJP office.
Security has been beefed up in Banaglore with Secuity people...checking the car to check for bombs in hunchbacks...nothing else to notice here as such.
Hope the bombs don't blast in our lifes with the steps that I'm taking with my career.
If you have noticed or otherwise....lot of compromises on my part from last July.
I don't know where I'm going to....listening to whatever you are saying...and at the end...it will be all 'MY money' for you and I will have to beg you even for a mobile recharge.
And also comments like- 'I knew you would come...which girl can say a NO to onsite and things '
Hope I don't blast !
A:
My Dear B,
Be Happy that you are still working and is working on your area of strength. All these sacrifices are to make sure that we make some good money in our early days so that we can relax later. Also we need to spend our good days together not scattered across the world.
Your career is as important to me as it is for you. I don't have a background like *** to make you leave the job and ask you to take care of household activities. Even if i had also i would not have asked coz i consider my wife as my best friend not a slave.

Little less than 4 years into marriage , I 'm confident to take my husband's love for granted and it is ok even if he doesn't buy me anything or call me or even wish me on my/our special occasions . ( not that he doesn't)
But there are times when I want to shout to him 'I LOVE YOU my dear ' from the depth of my heart.
The moment I read this reply from him for this arrogant mail of mine was one of those.
I love you my dear and thank god for you are mine :).
Husbands are better than wives ...is it :)
