No ILYs. You could say she looks nice, or that's a nice outfit. No more than that. Give her the laptop, and fix the computer! She is going to see anything else as you trying to control her.
The card thing would be passive agressive, in my mind. Just keep them, and don't worry about it.
Make the dinner one night when you will both be home.
If she ususally makes chili for lunch for both of you, taking that on once in a while is a good idea.
Jeff,
She went out with her sister and cousin last friday.. she looked amazing.. it took alot not to say man you look hot.. (it killed me not knowing where she was and thinking she could be dancing with other M).. but i got over it.
what about comments like "you should be able to find a GF quickly because of the dog".... me not commenting or pretending i didn't hear was good aye?
the computer (thanks to vista) doesnt work, i will get it up and running this weekend..
why is it so hard not to call or text her??
BTW i know i am a spolit brat who grew up getting whatever he wants.. and throwing a fit if i didn't...
my W says i am alot like her father (was an alcholic)
