I'm a dad, here looking for some anonymous advice from a group of (mostly) female parents on a rather sensitive topic.
My wife complains that I never pay her any compliments. The fact is I simply don't really fancy her. What should I say or do?
I can think of a few options:
I could tell her what she wants to hear, even if it's insincere
I could do what I'm doing now - be nice, but don't say things I don't mean
I could suggest divorce
I'm currently doing option 2, and I know it upsets her sometimes, but I struggle to say nice things I don't really believe.
Any suggestions?
