Man, when Libra's in love Libra's in love! Sometimes too much. My friend's stepmother is so in love with her husband (my friend's dad, a Pisces) that she would do absolutely anything and I mean anything for him even at her own expense. If he asks her to do something, she does it. I once saw him out with his daughter and granddaughter but his wife wasn't with them and I asked where she was and he said, "She's home cleaning." When I laughed, he said he wasn't joking. (He's old-fashioned Italian-American that way and he is also an excellent cook, so he wasn't being a jerk by saying that). She "yes dears" him all the time and never gripes about him; she always says glowing things about him. She will not argue with him for anything and always listens to him. For example, it was her first marriage but his second; she wanted a big wedding and an exotic honeymoon but just accepted his insistence on a small beach wedding in Florida followed by driving to the Florida Keys for their honeymoon.

My friend (another Libra) actually says she preferred the woman who dated her dad before he married her stepmom (a Cancer). But I heard my friend say to one of her guy buddies, "You would have LOVED her!" and proceeded to talk about how chill she is and how she & her dad would playfully spar. When I pointed out that her stepmother is very nice, she agreed and said one of the best things about her is that she really loves her dad. Can't completely explain but it was kind of one of those 'nothing against my stepmom she's great and all but my dad's ex-girlfriend was sort of better'.

I think the truly good part is that her love for him is real because she's always there for him and comforts him during his PTSD episodes and supervises his diet (his daughter helps with those things too).
