I thank him daily for things he does...I have always made efforts to thank him, and currently am trying to be very specific when I do so.
I make meals for him often, rarely anything he doesn't like, and I try to make one of his favorites at least once a week.
As for what he appreciates from me? He says thank you, but rarely indicates deep appreciation...and when I have asked (in the distant past) what he needs/wants from me, his reply is always: "nothing--you're doing just fine."
Stuff he used to do...he still does a lot of it for me. I think the things I miss most now are the ILYs, his 'nice' nickname for me: Beauty (He still uses less flattering pet names for me), holding my hand, just having him home, praying together and going to church with me.
Perhaps I'm already doing what is in my power, and it's a matter of waiting for him to deal with his own issues. Gah. Back to just having faith that he'll START to work on that stuff on his own.?
