2Much- do you think that by being too tentative, you're making H uncomfortable? The reason I ask is that my H used to be so stong and confident in himself. Lately, he seems (and is) so unsure of himself that it's a bit off-putting. I know I have a lot to do with that, shoe's on the other foot kinda thing. It would make a world of difference to me if he started acting like his normal, charming self-or what I considered "charming" back when we first met.

Does that make sense? How did you used to act around him when you were first together and happy? Did you ask for kisses, or did you just give them? Did you spend your holidays together or not? I agree that he may feel nervous around your family, and they may feel the same around him.

I think just being your strong, attractive, confident self will go a long way with your H.

Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
