If not, tell me how to do it gently and with stealth mumsnetters!
I have been married 30 years and we are very best friends we do almost everything together, we work together every day. We enjoy our time together but also enjoy time with our own friends doing our own hobbies. The goalposts I want to move are to do with the romance in our marriage, we have never been the lovey - dovey types and have even laughed privately at couples who are, saying they are a bit sickly! But, and it is a big but, I am changing, I know why it is my menopausal hormones at work here, but I don't know how to get him to join in without him thinking I am unhappy with him, as I am not, I just want to get a bit more soppy and tactile in public. I went to put my arm around him in the pub last week and he looked at me like I smacked him in the face
I need tips on how to get him to show and tell what I know he feels without him then feeling like a bit of a tit. He did hold my hand when we were out walking at the weekend but we were in the middle of nowhere and no-one could see!!
