Warning: possible long rant ahead!

I have had a really dramatic day so far guys! I realized I had left my lunch at home so I went to get it. I noticed there were two cars parked in my driveway that aren’t usually there. Okay, no big deal. We rent and our downstairs neighbor moved out and the rental company is showing it to potential tenants. Well, our driveway/parking lot is a very tight squeeze and they didn’t leave me a lot of room. When I was trying to back in, I tapped the bumper of one of the cars. Immediately, the owner of the car comes storming out of the apartment downstairs screaming and cursing at me. I asked him to please calm
down and we would figure it out. I parked and got out to see what damage there was. There was no visible damage to my car and a really small scratch on his. He then continued to scream at, curse, and insult me, and attempted to use intimidation tactics to make me give him cash right there. I told him that wasn’t happening and gave him my insurance info. He then told me he was going to call the cops and refused to give me his insurance information. At this point the situation was really escalating so I called
FH for moral support. He dropped everything at work and came to be with me immediately. He didn’t want me to be alone in dealing with this hostile guy and talking to the police.

After my FH arrived, the guy kinda changed his tune and started apologizing. Damage was already done as far as I’m concerned. The officer arrived and agreed that it was unnecessary for him to be there. The guy didn’t even file an accident report as he said he was going to originally. The whole thing just seemed kinda shady.

I’m really thankful for my FH and situations like this confirm what I already know, that I’m lucky to have him and definitely making the right choice to spend my life with him. I never really doubted before but it’s things like this that let me know he will always protect me and stick by me whenever I need it.

Tell me about some times when your FS really came through for you!

    Funny how when a man shows up the other upset party, who is a man, calms down and the tune changes? Grrrrr........

    I have not had an incident where my hubby has had to help me out like that, although he did just go with me and my 18 year old son to buy a used car. He knows his way around cars and helped my son navigate the purchase through a private seller. It was really sweet!!! They test drove it together while I sat in my car, lol.

    Yes exactly! He was being totally aggressive to me until my FH showed up. Sad that I had to handle the situation like that.

    Aw, that’s so sweet of your H to help out your son. Buying a car is always a huge thing! It’s good to have someone on your side who is familiar with things like that!

    I have been having some problems with insulin resistance and pcos. A couple weeks ago I had a really dangerous blood sugar drop. I handled it at home while he was at work. When he got off I still was feeling alot of pain. We ended up going to the er that night. He goes to bed at 7pm and gets up for work at 1 am that night he kept in contact with his work about what was going on and even changed his start time to 4am. He stayed with me all night until we were released at about 1 am. He slept on and off until I started having panic attacks after they gave me morphine. I thought I was having heart attacks and kinda freaked out. They didnt know if it was my heart because of the morphine or what was going on. After the first one stopped they said I had a panic attack. They got me all calmed down, gave me more morphine and left the room. Another one started. He just held my hand, got me to calm my breathing telling me it's ok. I told him to go ahead and rest and his answer was how could I possibly sleep right now. He got 3 hours of sleep that night and still went to work. He tried to call in so I wouldn't be left alone but they had no one to cover. He was amazing that night. I have never had someone just stand by me like that. I'm so thankful for him and everything he does.

    *it ended up being a cyst rupture and blood sugar drop dangerously low

    Yes, and when my son went to the ATM he could only get so much out so guess who took money from his account to help pay? Yep!

    Wow that's crazy, people are insane! Glad FH was there for you!

    I have a similar story to Orange Crush - my son just turned 17 and has his first car, it's older and when we brought it home FH realized the radio was very old and my son would never be able to use his phone to listen to music. Without telling me he ordered and installed a beautiful new radio with blue tooth and now it's totally hands-free and safer for him to use. Smiley heart He also showed him all the car things changing oil, changing tire, and checking fluids. My ex is very smart but not mechanical - FH balances it all out with his mechanical mind!

    Oh no, I'm sorry this happened! That guy was 100% trying to intimidate you and get you to pay him. Sounds like a shady person, imo.

    But I'm glad your FH could come to the rescue! I love when they're there for you.

    Omg...that sounds terrifying! Thank goodness you guys ended up going to the ER. That’s so awesome that your FH was there for you and continued to stay right by your side. I’m so glad you’re okay now because that sounds super scary!

    That's so sweet, thank goodness for your FH!


    My fiance is just about the most considerate person ever. I have chronic faitgue syndrome and some food intolerances and am just in general a pretty weak person. He is always going above and beyond to make sure I am not overexerted and bringing me food at work and just putting my health over what he would want to do. It's so true that the little things make all the differenceSmiley smile

    Awww! Bonus points for Bluetooth/hands free! Gotta make sure your loved ones are safe. And it’s so important to know how to change a tire, change your own oil, etc. Definitely good skills to have!

    Oh it was so scary. I didn't know what was going on. Just that I went for an ultrasound, then started having chest pain and my heart rate was all over the place, my breathing was all screwed up. I thought the morphine was doing something to my heart. Then even had to call for rapid response and they all ran in the room and put me on a bed and I looked at the one in charge and said I'm getting married in dec and I was crying. She said you still are honey. I was terrified. I seriously thought the morphine was causing something with my heart. And he stayed right there holding my hand. Brushing the hair away from me, kissing my forehead. He was amazing that night

    Yes I'm so lucky to have him. Originally I was just calling him to tell him what happened, I certianly didn’t expect him to drop everything and come but I’m glad he did.

    As a feminist and someone who is pretty independent, it did feel weird to call him for help, but I’m so grateful that he did. I think that guy would have continue to berate and intimidate me otherwise 😕

    Wow, that’s so awesome, sweet, and considerate of your FH to bring you food and make sure that you never overexert yourself. I‘m so sorry you have to deal with having chronic fatigue syndrome, that definitely does not sound fun. 😞 But I’m so glad you have someone who looks out for you!

    My fh has saved my bacon so many times I wonder how I managed before I had him lol. The most recent I was driving home from work and suddenly was slowing down and couldn’t accelerate. I was terrified but luckily there was a turn off (there wouldn’t have been if I had been any closer to home). I called him and he was there right away. Turned out to be a small problem but it took a lot of work to figure it out. I just love him so much! I’m glad your fh was there to deal with that jerk!

    My FH has saved me from a lot of car issues too! We both drove hooptys for a while (I still do, I’m not in a place where I can afford a new car). So glad he came through for you and was able to help you.

    Also I wanna correct myself on my subject line haha. Should be Thank goodness not thanks 😅 I was so heated from that exchange with the guy I couldn’t even bother with grammar apparently but now it’s bugging me!

    A few months after we started dating I fell while playing kick ball and slid into the ground. Scratched up all over and could barely move my finger. I drove straight to his apartment and he had that I'm going to kill someone look in his eyes. He asked me who did this to me...then I told him my clumsy butt fell in a kickball game against 7 year olds. So then he laughed and helped me clean up since I was shaking and it hurt to move. He made sure all the sand and rocks were out of my wounds and got me ice and a glass of whiskey. He took really good care of me esp after I got an x-ray the next day to find out my finger was actually broken.

    2 days later I broke a toe. And he took even more care of me with my now 2 broken bones lol.


    This year I was coming home and it sounded like a race car was behind me. Nope. My muffler was literally falling off. He assured me everything would be ok since I was freaking out about the cost of a new one while planning a wedding. He managed to take the muffler all the way off so I could at least drive my car without it falling off and hitting another car or get stuck up under mine. He then went out and got my new muffler and took my car to his friends house to put the new muffler on which saved us hundreds of dollars.


    He's always just there for me making sure I'm happy and reminding me to not stress out.

    My hubby showed my son how to do the oil, check the tires, the whole thing, too. When my son showed his new (new to him, right?) car and told him the price, his dad was SO negative. "Geez.....for that price what is WRONG with it?" Way to go there Daddio.......Negative Nelly at his best!

    We had a similar incident a few years ago. My brother was visiting and when he left and had just begun pulling out of our driveway (most of the car was still in the driveway/on the sidewalk), a BMW crested the hill one house down from us at a speed too fast for the area and grazed the back fender of my brother's car. Both stopped and got out, my brother being pretty cool about the whole thing. The other guy jumps out of his car, waving his arms all over, screaming and cursing, you get the picture. We're trying to calm him down and point out that there's no damage to my brother's car except a little scratch and as far as we could see at that point no damage to the BMW at all. He finally stops the theatrics and tells my brother that if he'll give him $500 cash right then, he'll forgot about the whole thing and won't call his insurance company. My brother tells him there's no damage to the BMW and he's calling the police to document things and wants to exchange insurance information. Well at the mention of police, the guy decides to forgot the whole thing, jumps in his car, and takes off like a bat out of hell. Brother calls the police anyway because now it's a hit and run. The officer arrives, we give a description of the guy and his car and the officer says someone with the same description/car pulled the same stunt the day before a few blocks from us.

    I wouldn’t have cared at the time either people are crazy! We don’t drive anything fancy but they’re paid for so I’m happy. The cause of this one was the fuse for my fuel pump going out. I was like seriously?! 🙄

    We have had plenty but in the last two weeks my FH has had 2 moments that made me fall in love with him over and over again! I was on my way to my first official day of my new job, when I was driving down the freeway and for the first time ever- one of the tires popped. I didn't know what happened and I had my music up so I didn't hear a pop- but all of the sudden my warning sign came on saying that the tire pressure is low. I freak out for not wanting to be late- so I drove all the way to my exit with this popped tire, while on the bluetooth with FH crying telling him I'm pretty sure the tire is popped. I finally pull over- and yep, Flat tire. I was SO mad- and needed to be at work in 15.

    FH told is boss and was by my side in 10 minutes when I know it takes 20 from his work- and gave me his car to get to work. I was 3 minutes late to work, and while I was there FH got a new tire and was able to trade cars back with me.


    The other was a couple of days ago, I got yelled at by a gentlemen who wanted to tell me women shouldn't and couldn't be ministers (I'm a religious person, also a children's minister and have a passion about God calling women where ever he feels led to). FH knows this, and also knows at this job (Christian book store) I basically have to smile and stay face while this man is basically bashing something I feel strongly about. On top of this it was the busiest the store had ever been and the Assistant manger disappeared- which left me and another crew member all by ourselves. I texted FH and told him I'm having a bad day, so he came over during my 15 minute break to encourage me and tell me that he loves me. And then when I got home he had flowers and skittles waiting for me when I got off after closing. It was just so nice. Smiley smile

    Wow! That sounds so incredibly painful 😣 it’s so sweet that your FH is so protective of you and was able to help clean you up, and help with your vehicle! Car issues are the worst. Always makes you feel totally helpless. It’s a good thing your FH is there to help out!
