Wow, great feedback! My C commented that I need to do things to make W feel nurtured, and that my list was a bit too much about doing things rather than creating feelings. So I do have a lot to work on, especially since we are in a state of S, many of these things are not received in a way most people would expect. A sexy whisper about how we might do something next year got me a terrible dirty look just this week. And asking specifics about her day got me accused of "tracking" her. But I get your drift.
Early in our M I got in big trouble for spending $80 on a dozen long-stemmed roses. It took me several years and the birth of my first-born to buy her flowers again. Even when things were good, this was a minefield. She's from an alcoholic and mentally ill family and things that most people would really melt over often got me, well let's just say, sub-optimal responses. But I'm still trying!
Thanks again for the feedback, I will take it to heart.
