That's great that you and H are going out together on Saturday. I'm sure it will be a big deal to your H as well if its the first time you have been out together. You're right about not expecting too much from him though. I'm sure if you relax as much as possible and show him you're enjoying the evening it will be a great night for you. Good luck!
My H and I are having a laugh together - mostly initiated by H but I am responding like I used to when we met. I think because my H feels awkward with any intimacy he is being all jokey to compensate. I know exactly what you mean with the trying too hard and being too polite. My H has actually now said he thinks I'm trying too hard and that I don't have to do so much for him and he also says I'm worrying about upsetting him far too much as well. Is your H having fun with you? if so then I wouldn't think it is too early to do that kind of thing. I have been taking my lead from H. If he jokes about etc then I do too.
Quote: can't wait to have H to cuddle up to every night but at the same time the anticipation of it is quite nice. I am sure it will happen one day and in a way it is quite exciting wondering when it will be.
I'm sure it will happen for you too. I agree the anticipation of it if exciting. I think I'll probably burst with excitement and cry with happiness when H finally kisses me properly!
Valentines Day - its funny you should mention that I saw cards in our local shop yesterday and thought exactly the same as you - what do we do? Do we buy cards etc. I have decided that I am going to buy a card that isn't too sloppy but only give it to H if he gets me one. I am not going to mention the day to him at all. We used to go out for a nice meal but since S was born I have cooked nice meals at home instead. My H is working so I know we won't be doing anything. I've kind of dreamed it would be lovely if H got me some flowers and a card and we had our first proper kiss on Valentines Day but I have to keep telling myself to squash those thoughts so I'm not disappointed. Hope that helps you decide what you will do! Everything is such a big deal isn't it? Like even if I'm just making H a cup of tea I try deserately to make it exactly how he likes it and am gutted if there's something wrong with it. I think maybe we are worrying a little too much about things but it is understandable considering what we have been through.
My H is working this weekend pretty much without a break appart from sleeping so mine will be a quiet one. Hope you have a good one!
Speak to you soon I hope
