You are soooo right - it is that LL thing again. My H keeps hearing that same message but just doesn't respond with changes - just keeps with the household help, cards here and there, pecks etc... My question - if he knows it then why doesn't he ante up? JL's issue is very familiar in my house - feeling like a witch for asking for "more, better, different" than he seems willing or able to give.
Sigh - JL I know where you are. Just remember that your needs are legitimate.
