Sounds like you showed your wife a glimpse of the 'new' and emerging YOU last night...Good for you.
You said,
Quote: I like that movie because deep down I want to love somebody like he loves her, only I didn't/don't know how to express it because I always thought it wasn't manly and I was afraid
How sad it is that some men cheat themselves out of truly giving and recieving love because they've been socialized to 'hold back any expression of feelings.'
Well I'll tell you what...let your femine side (the one that shows and expresses love, appreciation and respect for your wife) JUMP OUT OF THE MACHO CLOSET...cause the rewards will be boundless!!!! Women do love big macho men...but we want them to enjoy picking out fabric with us too...I know, it's a tough balancing act for you guys, but it turns us into blithering, loving idiiots. T2
