Being Romantic
 
OK guys, more wife issues....My wife said I'm not romantic like I was when we first met. I'm not sure what to do, I''m just not romantic, makes me feel silly.
Geez, we've been married about 18 years, who needs romance at our age. I don't know, any ideas what I need to do?

Just a card thanking her for being great wife/mother/best friend/lover/etc.. Hand written where possible, and elaborately delivered.

Good luck.

Armistead 11-01-13 04:08 PM

I took her out for bbq last night......

Anyway, I found a roll of film from 16 years ago, has a few great pics of us, thinking I will get one blown up, frame it and just hang it on the wall.

How I do hate it when they pull the Romance card.

Maybe if it's possible, try explaining to her that men do things (as opposed to just saying things) to express themselves. Ever make her lunch, or do her laundry or something along those lines? That's male speak for "I care about a lot about you, so I'm trying to help you", because if you didn't care, you wouldn't lift a finger would ya? I know I wouldn't.

I'm lucky though. My wife's father is the exact same way so she grew up realizing that her dads way of expressing himself was though deeds, not words. My dads the same way, and I get off the hook a little bit, but not entirely. My wife still expects me to be "Morantic" once in awhile, but probably to a degree less then other women.

Only show her the ones where she is fully clothed.

I tried that Duci...I clean and stuff...

She said that I never whisper "sweet nothings" in her ear when we make love. Last night, I kissed her and softly whispered in her ear "roll over" It didn't impress her....

My wife keeps me so confused...Other night we're laying in bed and she moans out "oh, I'm so hot" so I got naked and quickly jumped on, only to hear her say "get off idiot, I'm having a hot flash"

another wasted Viagra...

Man, that's false advertising.:timeout: I'd call the Attorney General and file suit.

Sounds like she is starting through the "change", they tend to go "nuts" during that time. A weekly "date night" might be just the thing she would like.

I have done that and also have an online bromance with AVG that could grow into much more....I don't want to change, I was even planning on getting me my own bed... I am very happy with her as is, like I told her, she should romance me for once....

Around my neck of the woods a bouquet of flowers is $20. Give them to her "just because." Leave a note on her steering wheel or in the pocket of her favorite jeans. Try sexting. :03: I have noticed after 20 years of marriage my wife likes to see more affection from me because it makes her feel desirable. It would seem they think they are looking like a DeSoto and we will be more interested in the Corvette. I take her on date nights. I still hold her hand in the car or walking anywhere. I give her free time to play candy crush! :haha: Most of all and I have said it before, she will say she is a lady in the parlor and a whore in the bedroom. I honor her offer and offer my honor. Its offer and honor all night. :up: Rinse and repeat three times a week. Or more. :D But seriously, holding hands, opening the car door and being as accommodating as you can goes a long way. It does not have to be overly dramatic. The simple stuff that shows you care and love her carries a lot of clout.

The gaffa entered the man cave unnoticed and seeing this said "Why can't you be like him?" :oops:

If I do my back in tonight you'll be feeling the weight of my crutches (without the rubber tip to soften the blows) :stare:
