For V-day, I gave him an engraved keychain that it a locket. I put a picture of myself in it and a note: "to my best friend and soulmate - you carry my heart with you wherever you go".
I have to kindof force myself to get that mushy, but I was glad I did when I saw the look on his face .
We had a nice day...went out for dinner and came home to watch a romantic movie and snuggle. Not great excitement--but we are after all, getting older and don't have the energy to stay up late anymore, lol!
So...this is where it got odd (in a nice way). He starts telling me how lucky he feels to be with me--that I'm beautiful--that he still lusts after me--and that he is "all mine...forever".
Wow, I don't think I've heard that much lovey-doviness out of him for years! I can see the sentiments in his eyes and in his smile...but I don't hear these kinds of things from him very often, and when I do it is in little bits and pieces. Mostly, he shows affection physically--and that seems to be increasing lately also.
I think he's getting the hang of this stuff...and I appreciate every bit of it!
At the risk of sounding way too corny...I am feeling very loved right now. I know I did the right thing to fight for this R.
