Matilda, As far as expectations go, I ask that my W practice dancing with me at least weekly. It's also expected that she work to some extent to help with the expenses. Beyond that, you're right, I don't ask anything more of her at this time.
She doesn't ask what I need, but decides what I need. She treated me to a clothes shopping trip last year. She took me shopping for a new pair of shoes earlier this past year. She bought me an Ipod, and home computer recently. She bought me a car stereo last year. She upgrades my life in material ways, because she knows I will live an austere existence, to live within our means.
I'm working on a book, called Writing the Natural Way, by Gabrielle Rico. I've been having writer's block for the past year, learning fiction technique, but struggling with being self-expressive. This book has been helpful with tapping into creativity, and has me approaching writing in a different way.
I ended-up finding some inspiration, and wrote a poem, which I've never done before. This has been the piece I'm most proud of to-date.
I'm still amazed by it, and am not sure where it came from. Hopefully, a similar experience is not far away.
