Nice going with the double-play of 180 and 'act as if!' Communicating your appreciation of NG's efforts while expressing your needs and then moving through the day expecting the positive outcome. Absolutely textbook. A+!! The result was pretty cool too .
Wow, 2500 posts! It's a testament of your unwavering committment to your marriage. You've done a lot of hardwork here Slowly, it speaks volumes about your dedication and your love for NG. You've been generous and caring with your advice to others on this board too!
I'm a romantic, so I like your memory book idea. I do agree with you that it might put too much pressure on you both right now. Perhaps a simpler handmade card or Valentine to mark the day.
Have fun at the shops.. I love retail therapy! Have a safe trip home. - C2F
