[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 419666, member: 6546"] LOL! O yes, nobody's getting him without a fight! The thing that works about our relationship is that we always try to look through those "rose-colored glasses"....and we treat each other as though we are the mates we WANT. I want a helpful, romantic partner - so I tell him that he is the most wonderful, most romantic, most thoughtful man I know. Generally, people rise (or fall) to meet your expectations. husband knows that I see him as a "romantic" person....therefore, he sees himself as a "romantic" person. Do I give him tips about what a romantic person might do for me? Sure! I'd love flowers on my birthday...that would be so romantic. (Well, since husband knows he is romantic and I said flowers would be romantic....he will probably bring me flowers.) From husband's side? Long ago, he told me that one of the most common complaints among his male friends about their wives is that they stop wearing sexy lingerie. Yes, they still love their wives....they are still attracted to their wives....but they often feel their wives are just not going that extra inch to make things fun and sexy any more. husband wants his wife to be "sexy"....that's how he sees me....so guess what? No comfy cotton underthings for me! (And why not? It's fun to still be thought of as sexy!) In our house....all kinds of little things get recognized as "Love". Sweeping the floor....taking out the trash....baking cookies....buying groceries.... If you decide that it is special - it is. If you decide to make it special - speak up and tell your partner! Tell them you love them. Tell them that whatever little thing they did was WONDERFUL and you know they did it because they love you. Tell them you love them because they are helpful. They are resourceful. They are frugal. All those good things... And if they won't get up off their duff in front of the television....put on some sexy little number and stand in front of their show. Tell them you have something more interesting for them to watch. See if that doesn't get their attention. (And the next morning...you let them know that they are such wonderful, thoughtful men...maybe they could make you a lovely breakfast? And while you have them whipping up eggs....make plans with your girlfriends. Tell him he'll have the whole afternoon to himself....but you'll be home to fix him something nice for dinner....)
