Keep in mind, almost any reaction out of my H can be considered a good one.
Oh honey I hear ya! I have to check my H once a day just to make sure he's breathing! (lol)
The biggest thing I hear men on the board say is that we women won't tell them in plain English what we want them to know. They say it should not be a guessing game. It will always be such a difference in how the sexes communicate, I suppose. However, I think some women do think that men are born knowing what females want & need. After all these years of M, I have finally come to terms with the idea that they actually need a picture drawn (in color) and with very simple instructions how to look at it. Maybe we have read too many romance novels where the hero knows the woman better than she knows herself? Well, it's sure not that way in reality!
Seriously, I have learned that if I will stop thinking about my pride and stop expecting my H to automatically know some things.....and just tell him in very simple short sentences what I want or how something made me feel....it works a lot better and saves a heck of a lot of time!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
