That said, I still feel like there is still a thin wall between us - it's hard to explain but I feel like I cannot tell her I love her yet without scaring her away.
So, why don't you start by telling her that you want to prove your love through your actions...then buy the headboard! From what you've told us, it doesn't appear that your wife is generally wasteful with money....is she? If you can learn that your wife won't always see things your way....and vice versa...you'll be about 20 years quicker than I was in learning that lesson! I realized way too late how controlling I was in almost every way...finances...disciplining the kids...whatever. We even had a cute name for it....a FaithfulH-a-thon. Eventually it wasn't funny!
I am happy that you continue to show your wife unconditional love....even when you are hurting! Your wife didn't mean it when she said it would be 5 years before you are together. It sounds like she was very frustrated at the time. 3 words, LoveNoMatterWhat....Patience, Patience....more Patience.
She got the call today One out of the gray And when the smoke cleared It took her breath away She said she didn't believe It could happen to me I guess we're all one phone call from our knees We're gonna get there soon
If every building falls And all the stars fade We'll still be singing this song The one they can't take away I'm gonna get there soon She's gonna be there too Cryin' in her room Prayin' Lord come through We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light Oh it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love
Meet me once again Down off Lake Michigan Where we could feel the storm blowin Down with the wind And don't apologize For all the tears you've cried You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon You're gonna be there too Cryin' in your room Prayin' Lord come through We're gonna get there soon
Oh it's your light Oh it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love
Cause you are all that I've waited for All of my life (We're gonna get there) You are all that I've waited for All of my life
You pull me closer to love hu huuh Closer to love hu huuuh Pull me closer to love You pull me closer to love Closer to love oh no Closer to love Closer to love
Pull me closer to love
