Sounds familiar, I guess there are two options in this situation. Continue with the romantic attempts while having your needs rarely fulfilled or do things the way you want to (romantic or not) and have your needs rarely fulfilled. While I may be cynical and jaded to it all the only real option is to do my own thing. What am I missing? I feel I’m myopic and missing something.




I believe you have to do what is genuine. If you are a genuinely romantic person, and you enjoy doing it, irrespective of the response you get from your wife, then continue to do it. If it really bothers you that she doesn't respond, or even seem to APPRECIATE it, then to continue to do these things would be artificial and violate your itegrity, it would seem to me.
