Will take all this as positive. She always has done things like this for me but now I am really trying to say thank you and making a big deal out of it to show my appreciation.


I know this is a bit late to post to this, but I've been reading your sitch today and wanted to comment.

Something that made a big difference for how I felt I was treated & was like a 2x4 for my H was for him reading the 5 Love Languages (there's one for men).

If her Love Lang. is words of appreciation making a big deal out of it is great. Thanks is always nice, be specific about what it is you appreciate about her.

Her thoughtfulness no one sees what others need as quickly as you do and you are so willing to go the extra mile to make sure they get it.. that is so great about you!.

her time management I am always amazed at how effortlessly you get so much done in a day, like picking up my cellphone accessories, and make it look so easy), etc, etc.

finding her LL and speaking it almost like having a secret weapon. Don't force the 'love' part, keep it 'friendly'.

It made a big difference for me when H started speaking mine, got me back into him enough to see his change as meaningful, not just a game to get me back.

I'll keep reading your posts.
