Yeah, we have to go get lottery tickets in Florida every year. One day we ARE going to win more than 15 dollars.

I think that is just hilarious that your H had on sexy bikini undies, and they asked if he was gay. My H will not wear anything but white undies to work, maybe for the same reason.
I think I will just get the pouch, and do him up a gift bag and give it to him when we get there. And dare him to wear it for me.

My H does take everything personally, and now when he goes to the store for me, I tell him it doesn't matter if he substitutes one thing for another, because in the past, if I requested something or one brand, and they didn't have it or he just misunderstood and got something totally different, and I would get mad, and he would get his feelings hurt, now I just let it go, and I told him I don't care what brand or whatever he gets. He didn't believe me until the first time this happened, and I said what he got was just fine, no problem.

I just wish he would eventually send me flowers again, and then I think I would know he had finally forgiven me for that old incident.

It seems that when we show them a sweeter, more vulnerable side, and let them feel more like the leader of the marriage, they start to feel better about us, and themselves. Maybe that sounds kind of sappy, but it's probably true with many men.
