Women of her family kept telling my wife: 'I wish I had a husband like yours.'

During a period of high socialization running Wanted: Dream Boy, something unexpected happened. Multiple women in my wife's family started telling her how lucky she is to have me as a husband. She heard it several times: "I wish I could have a husband like yours." My wife was surprised. It had never happened that way before. I also received many touches and gestures of warmth from her cousins and nieces — more than usual, more direct, more genuine. Something about the way I showed up in that gathering had shifted the entire field.
