WOW unsure...sounds like my mornings...we dont even have kids, but first thing in morning, H will get up and go give kids hug and kisses and also before he leaves to go to work...why???

Is it because he knows that they expect nothing in return? OR that they wont pressure him for more?? I just dont understand it. Its pretty sad though when I get jealous because a H will give 2 yr old hug, but not me...

I was thinking last nite of trying to do some 180's to see if I can get any reaction that way. Maybe if I hold off from offereing hugs or kisses when H leaves, he will intitiate one? yea, right!!! Ha!!! I just dont know...I guess the only way would be to tell him...could I say, "H, I would really appreciate you initiating a hug or a kiss sometime during the day" Is there anything wrong with that? Its letting him know what I appreciate and that really has worked on other things, (of course non of it affection wise).

H slept in extra bedroom last night. Its ok...it doesnt bother me so much anymore. I know its not because of me or us or OW. He has been doing it at least once a week when he goes to play poker and gets home late. Its hard for him to "wind down". He does it FOR me, so I guess thats how I have to look at it. H has to watch TV to sleep and he doenst like to keep me up when he knows that I need to get up early. So I guess I take it as a loving gesture. It doesnt so much remind me of him and OW so much anymore.
