Before we got to piecing W was telling me that she needed to get used to my touch again, that used to bug me but hey women are strange. Now she tells me that I have a certain touch which just really relaxes her, but that invariably leads to her falling asleep rather than stocking up her passions. But she does enjoy the foot massages and the back rubs, hmm, maybe that's why she now wakes up full of passion, it's stored up from the night before. It's not every morning it's just when the mood talked her but I need to be ready.
With regards to the no compliments for my hard work in the garage, I think the issue was just our different expectations cos I told W that I would clear the garage by 50% of the clutter, but I think she just heard "clear the garage". So although the garage is now in a very orderly fashion it's not "clear" and in her eyes that failure. However I told her this is the new standard and I'll endeavourer to keep it that way. It general W has been good with compliments when needed, and I am now very aware of a woman's need to admire her man. I know W was full of admiration for me when we first met but over a period of time I think that waned for various reasons, but I am well on the way to getting that back.
I think I now have a good handle on when to give W and unsolicited hug, if she got something on her mind stay well clear, if she's feeling good about things (such as this afternoon) then it was good just good to give her a hug to say thanks for preparing my lunch box for me. Sometimes I can see she enjoys doing things which show her to be an old fashion wife looking after her man. So it's up to me to keep this admiration going. As far as W talking about things , not a chance, so I've dropped that of my agenda.
Yeah piecing is hard, reading W's subtle signals and hints is even harder.
