Being Romantic

Armistead · 11-01-13, 03:55 PM

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.

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.

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.

This coming from the guy who posted the song link...

I hate to break it to you but, you were in trouble long before this post.

You just need to get in touch with your inner snuggle bunny...

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....
