I had hoped to go out for our anniversary, or valentine's day, but he wanted to cook out here, so I got enthusiastic about it on valentine's day, because I stupidly let him know I would rather have gone out on our anniversary, and his feelings were hurt.
I know what you mean. A couple weeks after that date we had when D was out for the night, I asked H if he would like to try to recreate any part of that date. He said he would and we planned to go out that weekend. He didn't tell me what he had in mind. I was hoping for a surprise. That morning, he asked me if it was okay if we did something simple because he was a little tired. I thought he meant something like a reservation somewhere and a nice note or a special table setting or something like that, so I said that would be fine. I thought that would be simple. I worked that day. When I got home, he asked me where I would like to go. I was a little disapointed that he hadn't at least made a reservation. I said, "Do you want to make a reservation somewhere so that we won't have to wait for a table? Are you sure you don't want to surprise me?" He said, "Okay, go ahead and take your shower, I'll see what I can do." When I was done showering, He was sitting on the couch with the phone book open and looking very unhappy. I asked him what was wrong. He said he didn't wanted to make a reservation. He was angry that I wanted one. I told him that if he didn't want a reservation, we didn't have to make one. We could do whatever he wanted to. We went to a restaurant not far from our house and he seemed somewhat sulky the whole time. I sure don't want that to happen again.
