Thank you, so much, Packerfan! If my husband would just say that to me, I would do every single one of those things with pleasure. They ARE all about fulfilling his fantasies, (shaving, me initiating, being "into it" etc.) I thought this would help.
I agree with the exp dates, but didn't even suggest it, because I thought it might appear too "controlling". That's why I had the idea of having two for each month, so they are "use em or lose em." lol! For Valentine's Day a couple years ago, I went to an adult shop and bought him some whipped cream in a can (called "*ussy Whip" hee hee!) and a set of cards called "12 Romantic Dates." He never opened the whipped cream and never did a single "date." He said they all seemed too cheesy. Here's the first one I opened: "Dinner & a Movie ~ Thisis the ultimate tried and true date. You can make this date romantic, action packed, adventurous, funny or a combination of all the above. It all depends on what favorite restaurant you decide to make reservations at and what movie you choose to see together. Don't forget to hold hands and sit in the back row!"
Now, what is so difficult about that? Maybe he initiated a dinner and a movie sometime, but I don't know for sure.
By the way, I bought the Passionate Marriage and had a hard time getting anything out of it. I need to delve deeper into it.
