Quote: I guess I thought it was "safe" to expect again. I guess I don't even read my own advice. Expectations have NO place in a marriage, or a family...at least the kind I build up. Sure, you can expect a certain type of good behavior from the kids and a certain level of respect/kindness/etc from your spouse but beyond that, expecting that they do very specific things, act very specific ways and in general, conform to your way of thinking, sets you up for disaster.
I am waiting around for my H to do something, in other words EXPECTING him to want me and make me feel desired. (Insert gong sound now)
Wrong answer!! Especially since he may (or may not) be expecting the same thing from me.
So here we sit...and sit...and wait...and wait with neither one of us doing anything about it. How could I be so dumb?
I will follow OT's advice to you and show my H (if not tonight after work then definitely tommorw) how much I love him. As I sometimes say "Talk is cheap and beer costs money", don't really know what that means but it is time for action!!
