as soon as we walked in she clamped onto my arm like a boa--and wouldn't let go! i actually tried to make her let go, because the way she held onto my arm felt awkward and physically uncomfortable; she should've held my hand instead.
she looked great; i told her she looked gorgeous; she was "honeying" me all night, touchy-feely as well.
we got home at 1am; she had a cold or sinus infection all day; felt horrible all night, gave me play-by-plays of how horrible she felt ("this hurts, that hurts; one side is stuffed, this side isn't; i feel like i have a fever; etc")
no sex that night.
didn't have sex until sun. only because it was our anniversary and even then she teased me saying, "who said we are going to have sex?" (i made a comment about not making out with her during sex that night. i know i was wrong for saying that, but i just had to know if i was going to have sex!)
there were no "i love yous", no statements about how happy we are that we are married to each other. we just went about our business as if it was nothing special.
but then she posted on facebook that it was her anniversary and it's been 18 yrs of happiness and bliss, and that she loves me.
why?
Why worry about why? I got to the same point. Kinda like someone punch you in the face for no reason, really no reason - you where the target they chose. If they do it once and you retaliate, fine.
Say its your wife. She does it. You ask "why". She does it again, you ask "why". After a while you realize she's just going to do it.
I wouldn't worry about the why, I would have a problem due to the way she likes to communicate to me.
