Quote: Maybe also an "oh-so-subtle" splash of perfume to get his "olfactory" senses working a bit?
trust me, though LL does the painting in the house..the staining of the outdoor furniture..isn't afraid to pick up a rake and work in the yard...cooks..cleans..does the laundry and changes the poopie diapers all day..she wears make-up every day...and perfume and is even sporting a thong today and if I sit just right it shows... ...but I have to do those extra things just for me because when I do them for h and they go unnoticed or un-mentioned resentment builds...
son HAD to go pick me a flower from the yard (I don't mind I have a hill that I planted wild flowers on...big smiles...I had son bring daddy a beer while he's cutting the lawn..daddy thanked son and then looked at me and smiled and said thank you..
h's love languages are...
acts of service and words of affirmation.
mine are quality time and physical affection...
what a combo...but actually when you put them together and figure it out it can be a wonderful thing..the best of both worlds..just throw in some gifts here and there..(wich we do) and life can be grand.
so I'm busy speaking h's language and trying not to expect him to speak mine...and make sure to say thank you when he does..ie...I thanked him last night for watching the movie with me..and I thanked him for spooning me in bed last night...now I'd like to really thank him..nudge nudge..wink wink..
