Many girls are pretty impressed when they heard that my guy has a good voice & also a player of many different kinds of musical instruments. While I’m being envied by others of marrying a guy of such talent, some part of me gets a trifle uncomfortable when one particular musically inclined lady start those kind of ‘musicians-only’ stuff with him & I’m all lost in the jungle. You see, while I can appreciate music, I can’t read them or play them. So here I am, trying not to be jealous about musicians & their thingy…or of music bringing the souls of people towards a higher plane…all that kind of stuff. I was not having much success with my internal struggle till one night I brought up this topic of my insecurity to Alvin shamefacedly. I did really feel ridiculous but I couldn’t help feeling a bit sensitive whenever I see that lady walking in his direction.
His reaction towards my insecurity? He didn’t try to dismiss it or anything. He just assured me that I don’t really need to learn music in order to connect with him, that I am perfectly lovably unique on my own as it is & that he will keep his distance from that lady. Surprisingly, that really put my mind at ease & the whole thing was dismissed & soon forgotten. I think what I really need wasn’t a declaration abt his innocence(even if I know the whole thing is probably really nothing) but more of his assurance in words as well as in actions. I don’t think he did all that because he’s hen-packed. He listened to me, assured me & took action to avoid any misunderstandings…all because he loves me.
My guy is such a gem!
