hey neil, I missed out on a whole bunch of new folks while i was out on maternity leave and I appreciate you coming over to my thread.
I was reading back through some of your older threads and noticed that you don't really mention a whole lot of things you like other than your kids and wife. Those are awesome things, don't get me wrong, but what else. Think back to maybe before you met your W or when you guys were first dating... What did you do for fun. I know that was a long time ago, but humor me... Did you play any sports? Did you play video games? Did you go bowling/play pool? Did you ski/hike/surf/bike/etc...? There has to be something that at one time was fun. Figure out what that is.
On the compliment thing... i do agree with SC about it seeming like a line to get sex, but also, for me at least, 99% of the compliments that i (used to) get are generic. "you look nice/fine/good/pretty/ok..." We want to feel like you actually noticed. When we get dressed, especially when we get dressed up really nice we have a reason for each thing we chose. If i put on a nice dress and do my hair. As much as "you look pretty" is good to hear, it doesn't compare with something like " you're hair looks really pretty when you put it up like that" or something... It means you really looked at us and appreciate the work that went into the look. Keep your head up. Today can be a good day if you let it!
