Louis CK quote

[laurensmomma]

Lol, I can say that the way I viewed my dh changed after Lauren came along, and I swore up and down it never would. I think we're getting back to closer to how it used to be, but it's definitely never going to be the same.

Not just you. 

(assuming medical technology and all that)

I've told DH that if he lost both of his arms in an accident, I'd spend the rest of our lives taking care of him. If one of our kids lost their arms, I'd give them my arms. It's a different kind of love.

[TrudyCampbell]

I'm definitely not one of those super lovey dovey in love with my husband people, but I really can't relate to this (sorry!). First of all, because apparently none of my DNA even made it to my children and they are his clones (lol). But I also have to say I feel a lot closer to him after kids than I did before. Definitely not in a romantic way, because our relationship could use a spark in that department, but I feel a lot more bonded to him. My love for my kids is unlike anything else, but my love for my husband is unlike anything else too, just in a different way.

Sorry to be "one of those".

I do like that explanation.

That's a really good way of putting it.

I feel very similar to this. I am so happy to finally feel things have made an upward turn for us. I think both of us really had no idea how having a child could change our lives. I mean, we knew things would change but it wasn't what we expected.

[carawestt]

I get it. I agree that's it is a different type of love.

[laurack]

I love the clips where he's talking about how kids are assholes. It's so funny and true

[laurack]

Pig newtons?? PIG newtons? Lol

[lolaburns]

It's been so hard for us to not get lost in being a mom, dad, parent. Before kids, the relationship and the bond just sort of moved through life in symbiosis with everything else. Kids are a major upheaval. We have really had to work to make sure our relationship and closeness as two adults is part of our life, too. It felt weird to have to work at it at first.

I get what he is saying, though. My love for my H is different than that of my kids. It's more romantic and a bit less unconditional. Ok a lot less unconditional. LOL I have a laundry list of conditions.

[devonpow]

I love Louis CK

I don't relate to this quote that much. Not because DH and I are amazingly romantic, obsessed with each other people (lol no) but because like Trudy I did feel more bonded with him post kids. In part I feel like I really need to nourish my relationship with him because I realize that OMG I really need him to help raise these kids lol. I barely survive with him as my partner - if be screwed without him.

This is when he is singing my song lol.

And because they are assholes it makes me appreciate my husband even more. Love that guy. I need him lol.

[Faevantastic]

We went to a LCK show before we had kids and he did this spiel. Oh the irony.

[laurack]

it's definitely a different kind of love. Like if my husband treated me the way my kids do most of the time he'd have been out on his ass long ago. Nobody treats me like shit day in day out, screams at me, hits and bites me, throws shoes at my head and flings the food I cook them on the floor or at the wall!

except my kids, who I love with every fiber of my being and would die for.

lol

LOL. I get this all the time.  People call DS "Little DH" and they say DD looks just like SIL.  It usually doesn't bother me, DH and SIL are both very nice looking and lovely people.  But sometimes I want to be like, "Hey, they're mine!  *I* carried them for nine months, damnit!"

I agree with the rest of what you said though.  Even though we don't have a lot of time to be romantic, my love for DH has grown deeper with kids.  My mom used to always say I wouldn't know love until I had kids.  But I think comparing kid love to DH love is like apples and oranges.  The kid love is so complete and so absolutely unconditional.  The DH love is different, and not unconditional, but still just as strong.

Love me some louis ck, but I'm in the "realize how desperately we need each other to survive and holy hell are we going to celebrate and party together when they are grown" camp.

[devotchka]

Hahaha! I love it. So true. I love his show to death.
