Sherry and I were out and about the other day, visiting some friends and aquaintances and a lady we were talking to was telling us about her new "beau."
She said, "The only thing that bothers me about him is, He puts me up on a pedestal."
Sherry nodded and said, Dave does that to me too. (I feel like I should make "my woman" feel like she is the only woman in the world!)
I said, "Ladies, you're acting like this is a bad thing! Consider the alternative!" and we all laughed.
Being the contemplative person that I am, I was a little puzzled by our friends comment. Could it be a self esteem issue?
I'm just modeling behavior towards others that I would like to be modeled toward me.(The old "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." thing. So I'm not that noble!
)
What do you ladies think? If I care about someone, I want to do things for them. I "put them on a pedestal." I think this is normal, loving behavior.
