Today I had to ask my husband if he would do something for me. I really didn’t know what he’d say. I didn’t want to think about too hard. I figured he’d help me or he wouldn’t help me for some reason I would be able to understand. If that happened, I would have to ask someone else to help me which would be difficult but just have to be done.
I called him and I was going on and on, nervously. “P, I’ll do it. What ever you need from me, you got it. You can count on me for anything.”
I was taken aback to tell you the truth. It makes me tear up to write this and I call it “quintessential Saturn in Libra” due to my humility and respect of anothers boundaries coupled with his support of his wife.

Love it! I found myself in a very similar situation recently. I’ve never learned to drive, but I’ve gotten very self-sufficient about getting around, and asking for help with transportation just kills me (probably a pride-slash-embarrassment thing – moon in Virgo perhaps?). I don’t even like to ask my friends for a ride across town, but I really really felt queasy asking my fella for a ride because it would entail 1) his missing an opportunity to work some much-needed Saturday overtime; 2) almost an entire day on the road, kids included, and 3) a meetup with my mom. Well, after pussyfooting around the subject for a few minutes, I blurted out my request. He (a fine, fine specimen of a Libra BTW) very kindly acquiesced. He said “Just gel up the plan and let me know and I’ll make it happen.” What a gem.
Anyway: Ask, and who knows? Perhaps ye shall receive…
If this is what he literally said, I agree with Norah, you do have a keeper. What turns people off is when you ‘expect’ something, being sincere and not manipulative when you ask something of someone, especially your husband or boyfriend is HUGE.
I have trouble asking for help, too, and I think this is lovely. A woman on another site recently wrote that she knew her husband was “it” after he told her that he always had time for her.
“This man sounds like he ENJOYS making you happy. He’s a keeper.”
I’m so glad you both found each other again.
Well of course! That’s like asking your left arm to do something for you.
You have a very good husband he sounds like just the person you need to have your back when you need him. Sounds like he values you as a person, a wife and a friend. What a Blessings! Blessings on you, your husband and family.
This is love!
I’m so happy for you and so glad that you have that kind of support.
It sounds like you never take each other for granted. The secret to keeping a relationship alive is respecting boundaries. Powerful.

I thank my husband for this last night. I told him that writing it made me teary. He said he didn’t know why and that it has always been this way.
“P, I’ll do whatever. I mean, I won’t pull the plug for you,” he said.
“I know,” I said.
My husband thinks that is a mortal sin and throughout his life when his friends wanted him to promise to kill them on the battlefield if they were horribly injured, he never would.
“I won’t pull the plug, I am not going to suck a dick but other than that, P, whatever you want, I’m going to do. You know. There are some things I am not going to do, LIIIIIIkE pull the plug or suck a dick. You know what I won’t do but anything else, you got it.”
Loyalty in marriage is a totally beautiful and necessary quality for it to grow and last. I did not have that in either of my marriages, although I gave a lot better than I got. God bless loyal spouses with healthy boundaries… including Elsa P and the Soldier.
Acknowledging a partner at many angles is the juice of a relationship.
This makes me cry. Thanks for sharing Elsa.
You are one lucky woman Elsa. Not everyone has a spouse that will “get your back” when you need it…

I hate asking people for help, so I’d tear up too, if I got such a response from a spouse. This man sounds like he ENJOYS making you happy. He’s a keeper.
