Yes, I realize it's there... I just never thought of it as being services that aren't directed specifically at one's spouse as being something you're doing 'for' that other person to show them your affection for them. But I guess, if he didn't do those things...like mowing the grass and putting up the light fixture... then I'd have to do it. So yah, I can actually see that. It's not 'for' me, but it's for me, no?

PS... just sharing... the whole gifts thing? I think most women would agree that it's overrated. I'd much rather have my H pour me a glass of wine, sit with me on the couch and look deeply into my eyes, hold my hand and listen to me, than receive a bauble.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
