OK--now I'm feeling like such a BUTT complaining about this stuff. I mean--after what we've been through--I'm complaining because he doesn't give more elaborate Hallmark card speaches?

There's people here who haven't had their spouses come home yet, and I must have some nerve to be whining about this stuff.

I want to have a good M though, that is better than we had before. I don't know why this issue is so important to me, I only know how it leaves me feeling to need the affirmation and intimacy and not get much of it.
