LL why couldn't you live in my town? I'd love to chat over coffee!

I'm not even getting morning cuddles anymore.

And you're so right: thanking us for what we DO (cook, etc) is NOT the same as words of affirmation for who we ARE. Why do I need these so badly? I just know that I do.

I love it when friends say I look great, that I'm sexy, that I'm smart, funny etc. That I'm amazing for standing by H this way.

I feel fat and old and crappy today, wonder how much of that is due to not being loved as I need to be loved? Heck I'm 10 lbs thinner than when we got married!

And you know what kills me? H gave OW all KINDS of words of affirmation. After all 80% of their A was an EA so words were important.

He called her peanut butter legs and honey thighs!!! . He called her "BABE", guess how he signed my birthday poster? Happy birthday Babe.

He had LOTS of sexy, fun, appreciative words for her. My H is verbal, just not with me, I guess. And the less he gives to me right now, the less I feel like giving him, or acting "as if". CRAP!!!!

Oh, wait, this is YOUR thread, right? Sorry LL!
