Quoting sooner1992:
I'm still trying to come up with ways to make sure my wife knows how wonderful I think she is, but I'm not having much luck.


Not much luck with coming up with ways or with convincing her or not much luck with seeing much positive benefit? If it is the last one, just remember my suggestions come from my situation. Try something else if they don't work. IF it seems like she has gotten used to you telling her she's great, you could always try not telling her quite so often. Then maybe she'll start to wonder why. I'm just throwing out suggestions.

I hope her leaning up against you is a sign of improvement. Can't say we had ever reached the point of my avoiding touching my H, so I don't think I have any insider view on this.
