Mulkvisti

I caught up with a friend yesterday who quizzed me on my life. I try not to divulge information about myself but she knows the generalities of my situation and was trying to understand why I am waiting for a man to make a decision about whether I am worth being with when "he should know he is never going to find better". My standard response ensued "we don't know his other option".

Anyway, another friend was asking me what's so special about this guy. She has this warped notion that I can get any man I want and wanted to know why 'my' guy is different to the rest. I had nothing concrete to give her so I tended to the needs of my children, let her question slide and turned inside for the answer.

As I was putting my children to sleep two items came up in my Facebook news feed that hit me. Firstly this -

Which made me realise that I always have such great fun when I am with him. I am truly me when I am around him whether that means I am in a playful, somber, cheeky, childish, seductive, subdued mood. It may piss him off sometimes but he accepts me for who I am and does not try to change me. I like that. I like it a lot. 

Then there was this - 

I know he'd feel the same way about this as I do - how cool are the Finnish and how much more do I love them now that I know that they have a word like mulkvisti!
