First post, words of wisdom needed

[SamuelH]

First thing that happened when I suddenly found my relationship in trouble... you desperately want to fix the "love". You suddenly start trying to fix it and you just end up smothering them.

Heh, I did the exact same thing! I went from spending very little time with my W to trying to spend every minute I could with her and I think I came on too thick. She told our MC at one point that I was acting all weird. I think it's probably human nature, wanting to fix something that that is broken (or breaking).

Today she sent me a picture because she got home from working out and our dog had gotten into the trash and it was all over the place. The worst thing that our dog did was to eat her red vine candy. So today I bought her red vines, used a blank sheet of paper as rapping paper and drew a funny picture on the front. I put it under her windshield wiper while she was at work so she would find it before coming home. I than made sure that I was not at home when she got there. She sent me a text thanking me so much and when I got home she was laughing and said that what I did, "was sweet." I simply smiled and said that I was glad she liked it and then I went upstairs.

I am not getting my hopes up and I am staying away as much as possible, but I just want to make her smile.

I'm not one of the experts yet, but this seems like a pretty positive event. Hopefully you get the chance to do more of the same types of quirky fun things.
