[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 466416, member: 11791"] Mamaof5 - I think there's two sides to this... 1) Yes, given the circumstances, sensitive material has to be dealt with appropriately. He doesn't have an option on whether... only on what approach he takes to do so. 2) On the other hand... unless husband was writing you long love letters back in the early days of your relationship... I'd say you are expecting too much. I'm married to the kind of husband many women "dream of"... but romantic? NOT. As in, absolutely-never-going-there NOT. I might get a love-note once every 2 or 3 years. Flowers? Nope. Chocolate? (oh, chocolate... well, he insists on having it in the house at all times, and insists that we only buy the good stuff.. so that doesn't count). Candle-light dinners - NO WAY, I need to enjoy the sight of the food as well as the scent and the taste. Can't even get a back rub out of the guy. But... laundry is always in the bucket - including undoing the collar buttons on his dress shirts. Does the dishes every single day. Watches for my favorite stuff coming on sale, so we can afford to buy it. Won't buy a vehicle unless the seats "work for me" (back issues - can't sit in 75% of them). Would not consider leaving the house without saying goodby. The most considerate bloke you ever met. [B][U]But not a single solitary romantic bone in his body.[/U][/B] And no, I'm not complaining. The point is... being "romantic" is not what makes a good husband. Being considerate of YOU and YOUR FEELINGS, [B]is the important part.[/B] Just my two cents... (we've been married over 20 years) [/QUOTE]
