Jon is good to me in times of stress

[amberica]

Yesterday I was feeling so stressed at work, it was starting to make me feel physically ill. By the time I got home, I was in a terrible mood, and I snapped at Jon a little bit for something so minor I can't even remember what it was. It was all so fast I don't know if he even noticed it, becasue then I stormed out again and went to the store to buy some thread. When I came back, Jon was out in the garage doing something to his car so I parked in the driveway. When I got out of my car, he got a good look at me and said, "You look absolutely miserable!" and I said, "I am." He asked why, and I said I'd had a terrible day at work, and he hugged me and asked what happened and I told him I didn't even feel like talking about it, and then I went inside and crashed on the couch to cry the stress out a little bit.

Jon followed me in and sat right by me, rubbing my back and neck and letting me cry it out. He didn't ask questions, he didn't try to make me talk, and he didn't try to make things "better." He did everything exactly right.

As much as he likes to tease me, he still does the right things at the right times. (And actually, I kind of like it when he teases me! I guess that's why he does it - hah!)

Awww, what a great guy! That's what I need sometimes too, just someone to let me cry it out and get on with my day.

For sure! I have always hated it when guys try to "FIX IT" and don't understand that there is nothing to fix - I just need to release the stress! Jon is remarkably intuitive about things like that. What a keeper!

I couldn't agree more - You have a good one there, Amba!
