It's been nearly two months since I moved out now, and I'm basically in the same place I was before so I'm going to change strategy a little. In the past I neglected little things. I always had ideas of little things to do that would let her know how I feel but I rarely went through with any of it. I would never send flowers or anything like that so now in an effort to do a 180 I am completely turning that around. I had flowers sent to the house yetserday and she says that made her feel like "big sh!t" when she answered the door for the delivery. I also bought her a new jewelry box today. When i handed it to her I said "your gonna need this" I wrapped it up in Cinderella paper and put a nice bow on it. The paper was symbolic with the whole princess theme. I told her that someone is going to be treated like a princess and I hoped it would be her. She asked if I borrowed the wrapping paper or bought it special for her, when I said I bought it for her she seemed somewhat pleased. I'm not sure if overwhelming her with gifts will show her that i have a new attitude but it is much different than I've acted in the past. Any thoughts?
On another note, the apartment where I live is above my brothers garage and because of this I've been able to get a different perspective on his marriage. By doing this and seeing him in action it has been made perfectly clear to me that I didn't put nearly the effort into my marriage that I could have or should have. Hopefully I will be able to make up for that.
