What is it about working on the house that is so affirming for relationships? Home-building, I guess; future-building. Re-creating the space together. Such a positive thing to do together. We're enjoying it too!
Hello there! Well, I've been sick with icky cold and feeling a bit down. Things here are fine...but is it the never satisfied part of me that wants them to be great, or what? Seems I am still db'ing my butt off...and he stays pretty much the same. I guess I just get a bit tired of him being so selfish...sports, sports, and more sports...watching what HE wants on tv....doing what HE wants to do...But, I know I have to just go and do the things that I want to do with or without him. I can't change him..only me....and I am responsible for my own happiness. He hasn't been bad to live with or anything...just not all song and roses around here either. I guess I need to accept that love is boring after a while...once it gets comfortable and worn in and more matured...still, I'd love to have some of the passion and excitement back...just don't know how to motivate him...seems nothing I do works. Our sex life is fine...just that...just fine. I want a bit of romance back in our lives and well, it is just not there. Still, he's not looking to get out of the marriage anymore. That's huge compared to where we were four months ago....so patience and more db'ing, I guess.
Well, I got my hair highlighted and trimmed today. It was fun doing something just for me today. I feel sooo much better. My attitude has been highlighted, too, it seems. I guess, I just need to brighten up and make the effort to rev things up in our life...why wait for him to be romantic? I can be romantic enough for both of us!
A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning coffee when she noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A long black hearse was followed by a second long black hearse about 50 feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary woman walking a pit bull on a leash. Behind her, a short distance back, were about 200 women walking single file. The woman couldn't stand her curiosity. She respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said, "I am so sorry for your loss, and I know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?" The woman walking the dog replied, "My husband's." At which time she was asked, "What happened to him?" The woman replied, "My dog attacked and killed him." She than was asked, "Well, who is in the second hearse?" The woman answered, "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her." A poignant and thoughtful moment of silence passed between the two women when the woman was than asked, "Can I borrow the dog?" "Get in line."
I actually LIKE my mother in law...but it's still a funny joke.
Smiles all around today...it's gonna be a great day! Why? Because we're gonna make it a great day!
Ok...looking for ideas here....what are some romantic things you have all done for your spouses? Not sexual...the romantic mental/emotional foreplay leading up to passion......I'd love some ideas! HELP!
You know, the way I imagine it, it seems like Alaska would be the most romantic place on earth - cold, snuggly, warm fires, hot cocoa - well, never having been there, you know -
I like the picnic on the floor of the living room thing.
Gifts of relaxation are good - jazz CD, bubble-bath, candles.
And, as you know, one of my favorite things to do / give is massage. Tell your H to lay down on the floor, relax, and give him a full-body massage with oil. In front of the roaring Alaskan fire. Playing your jazz CD.
