"it's been about a week since I mentioned it, so I just want to reiterate, IWTMLWYOAW"
I would advise against adding anything to the original statement. Look at the impact that will have: it will make it look like a "strategy"; it will make it obvious that you're keeping score, looking at the clock/calendar; anything extra that you add to the simple statement will give her something to react to. IMHO you must simply state the want itself-- the want is the thing that does not need explanation, defense, justification, etc.
I can just hear her: "So, now you're counting the days between the times you bring up this ridiculous notion of yours? And now you're 'reiterating,' are you? Don't you know that 'reiterate' is basically a redundant word and useless in modern conversation? 'Iterate' means to repeat, so 'reiterate' has no meaning. Stop using words like that with me. It's just another way the patriarchy has of justifying its lustful and dirty needs and wants. You men and your filthy desires are all alike!"
No, no, no, grasshopper... stick with the original zen-like purity of your simple want, stated simply.
And although it is a challenge to you, it is important to say this every day... doesn't have to be twice a day... once is good. But it is Chinese water torture... the main purpose of the exercise may very well be to wear YOU down, to wear down YOUR aversion to stating your want.
