Honeypot...now that I can relate to :-) No whacks coming on that one.
My H shows me in small ways that he misses me. He recently told me of some things that I know he misses when he's not with me, so now I'm aware. Could have knocked me over w/a feather when he did tell me he missed me last time he was away...and gave me an example of something about ME he missed...not my cooking, cleaning, mothering etc...but ME.
I suspect that our H's are very similar in this aspect, they simply are not very verbal. My guess is Mr. Horneypot thinks that you should just "know" he misses you, right? Well if so, that sucks...been there, done that.
That's one of the things I've been very clear to my H about lately, I am not going to "assume" he feels anything/anyway anymore. It's not easy but I'm finding I have to stand up for myself in that aspect and let him know that...if he wants ME to be happy then he has to express his love in ways that I understandHe's doing much much better abut this now...but I still do have to reinforce to him fairly regularly that I'm not going to assume his feelings....he has to express them.
I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know huh? I'm preaching to the choir
