upon further reading i recognize i'm not merely a submissive nice guy, but rather I was with several of her key love languages, too reserved in giving compliments, i often recognize it tougher to do as they appeared in genuine unintentionally, likely because they were not specific enough or said in a more sincere tone. Similarly i should have been much stronger in managing finances despite her lack of desire for budgeting, favouring whimsy. as things likely built against us, she dismissed any compliments but would criticize my lack in making them, which inadvertently stopped me trying. As i look back it all comes clearer each day, yet, i know I am not that man any longer. My desire is a new relationship not bound by the past but open to a new future. I know she is nowhere near reconsidering. We still live in the same home. Conversations are respectful and often laughing. How do you reignite the romantic spark?
