Hairydude, Nurturing, in your case, may mean simply stopping the whole Manservant routine. The cooking and cleaning, etc. I would continue to do your share but maybe cut back a bit and explain that this is going to be time spent on yourself. Taking classes (great idea! Loved that one), etc. Even if it's just time spent on the couch watching the boob tube. (But not boobs on the tube, cause come on, D5 will be with ya right)
Simple things like having some down time FOR YOURSELF will probably *feel* nurturing to you and that is the objective, eh.
