Quote: Thanks JJ for the suggestions, but this is my question to you then....what if he does NOT do the things I want, meaning that I am not able to say, "I love it when you hug me" or " I really like when you snuggle with me", so then what??? Can I say things like, "I would really like it if you would snuggle with me" or "I would really appreciate a hug from you"...its hard to tell him thanks for things he is still not doing.
How about, "I really liked how we use to spend the day in bed all cuddled up together"? Not sure on that though. I'm don't know if bringing up the past is a good idea or not. Just another thought.
I've noticed that lately when XH wants to go out, I don't mind as much anymore. (It does piss me off that he say's he'll be gone an hour and then doesn't come home for eight. Even that wouldn't bother me if he'd just call and tell me he's going to be out later!) I use to do the same thing you did, get jealous and start a fight. I now see what a horrible thing that was. Now I look at it as getting to have "me" time.
Hope you had fun with your friend and that you're feeling better!
