Oh my...yes, blushing and I haven't even done anything yet!
jak Good point - I try to make sure H knows when he's appreciated but I need to really focus on making sure I'm expressing that. I hate it when he thinks I can read his mind, and I sure shouldn't go around expecting him to read mine.
ST haha yeah, OT covered the rest! OMG...the stuff that they will tell their friends just amazes me. I couldn't even talk to a couple of his friends without turning beet red for awhile, after he mentioned something sex-related he told them. Guess it must be a "guy thing"!
I do get the "you don't have to do that" sometimes, too - usually when he's acting guilty for something. Although haven't gotten that in awhile, so maybe that's a good thing.
He's been having problems more as he gets older and I know it bothers him. I have never once been bothered by it (and haven't said anything or acted like it bothered me, I don't think). I agree some of it's probably some depression. And some's probably just age catching up, too.
I like that idea.. try the "animal" approach and if that doesn't go well, try asking outright.
I just set up our MC appointment for next Tuesday. Why do I get SO nervous about these things?? My stomach is now churning. I'm glad we're going, though.
