Things are not perfect here, but going very well, I think. We're both *trying* and it seems if we aren't, it's evident rather quickly.
I gave him many gifts on Christmas Day, more than usual and several surprises, including telling him that I booked a room for us this Friday and took a day off work for him and arranged a babysitter. I was miffed however that out of the blue last night he asked why he didn't get the "one thing he asked for" which was for me to shave. I had asked him earlier in the month what he really wanted. We were at the dinner table and he smiled and said he couldn't say in front of the kids, but I said write it down then, b/c I really wanted to know. He drew a simple figure of a hairless female and wrote SMOOTH. (Makes me feel like I'm Chewbacca or something!). Well, I'm not against the idea, but really would prefer to have a Brazilian wax rather than do it with a razor. (ouch) I was thinking about doing it for our weekend away. SOOOO...anyhow, I acted a bit miffed and said he just needed to wait that we were having a weekend alone in the next few days and I said, are you doing romantic things for me this week? He (still somewhat jokingly) said "Yeah!" I said, "really, you ARE doing romantic things?" (b/c to me he has not done anything out of the ordinary) He said, "If you'd zip it long enough..." I said "DITTO!!"
That was the end of that conversation. We weren't mad, but both got the same point across. It's weird how we both have the same complaint from the other most of the time.
I also wanted to note that I went off my Depo-Provera shot around August I believe. I think my drive is more normal now because of it. I pointed this out to him recently and he said that he thought I was just trying and I said, well, I'm not saying I'm not, but it sure helps to have the chemistry help you along. We agreed it was probably a combo of both.
