[Hope4us]

I'm so happy for you, Hope. I know you have been waiting for that for a long time. I put my rings back on early on, and still have them on, but I think you and your wife are closer emotionally than my H and I. I wish my H would work as hard as you in the "wooing" department.

And, Puppy. She's cautious, and she wants it to really mean everything she wants it to mean. I think we can all take something from Hope's patience. It DOES pay off.

What's his number? Maybe I should call him and talk some sense into him. Kind of sounds like your H just doesn't realize how much women like that wooing. Funny thing is though, I've always done that with my W, but I think it got to a point where she thought I was doing that stuff out of obligation or she didn't appreciate it anymore.

When I started NOT doing all the stuff she took for granted, she seemed to respond. It's like housework. For years, I did most, if not all, the housework, cooking etc. And it was ok, because of my work schedule, I had lots of time off during the week and didn't mind doing it. So when this all started I decided (with the help of some folks here) to quit doing what I'd always done. Now she doesn't complain about me not doing EVERYTHING, but she drops little hints that she wants some help.

Thanks for the support Didi. You're the best.
