I usually asked her if she wanted to try something I had already done, and mixed something that I know she loves doing in with it.

Read the above in bold and tell me how that makes you feel...

Is that the way it always was ?

That you were so interesting that women should bow to you and what you are involved in ?

Really ?


That didn't come out the way I meant it to. I know my words always get me into trouble on these threads. I don't really take offense to it, its all a learning experience.

Of corse I asked her if there was something she wanted to do. I meant to say it wasn't everyday I just sat around and said "W, what do you want to do today."

I asked her what she wanted to do, as often as I suggested things to do. I also respected her opinion when she suggested and wanted to do things.

I do regret I didn't do as many things as she wanted to do when she asked for me to do them. (Its on my list.)
