Dear Dr. Laura:
My husband of 15 years is a chauffeur in a city known for its party scene, crazy nightlife and barely dressed women. He works a lot of late nights, and recently, he told me that the wife of one of his chauffeur buddies didn't like his friend working late nights because of all the attractive women he has to drive around. That surprised me, and then I wondered why I wasn't worried about the same thing! My husband has told me of numerous occasions when he's been propositioned by women in his car and has had intoxicated females falling all over him, groping him and harassing him! Why do I not sit up at all night ready to check his collar for lipstick?
Then I realized I'm not worried because I butter his bread at home, I keep myself "up" for him, I take excellent care of his home and children, and make sure he always comes home to a hot meal. And I make sure he's taken care of in the bedroom quite regularly, so he's never out on the road "hungry," if you get my drift.
I'm 38 years old and I know I'm not as young, firm or attractive as the cupcakes he has in his car every night, but I don't spend one minute of my day concerned that any 20-something girl is going to steal my husband. My husband has a WOMAN to come home to. Thanks for the wisdom you've shown me over the years, Dr. Laura. I've read "
The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" no less than five times, and I AM my husband's girlfriend!
Debbie
