How do you make your man feel special?

[Somanykiddies]

Well ladies, what do you do?

have on request asked DP what i do that makes him feel special. he says (roughly paraphrased) the fact i deign to live with him at all, that i bother to talk to him, and that i babysit when he wants to go windsurfing.

he's easily pleased really.

Ah Fennel if only life was that simple for all of us. How you doing?

pork scratchings

Pork scratchings eh, the mind boggles!

If I did half the things on this thread, Dh would think something was up. I'm a great believer in mutual affectionate neglect, interspersed with moments of rowdy nakedness.

Rowdy nakedness is high on my agenda but I'm being a soppy luved up teenager at the moment and want to dote on him!!

hi somanykiddies, not so bad. am looking forward to a local meet up when someone gets round to aranging it.

Dh would be thinking I was about to tell him I'm pregnant again

Will it be Exeter next time, seem to recall it was Plymouth or am I just off my head as usual!

Ah well, we were never soppy and loved-up teenagers when we were teenagers, so it would be odd to start now. Tell you what, I'll throw the boat out and give him a snog when he gets in (even though he would have just cycled 15 miles, and will be a bit stinky and very wet)

DP and I have become more soppy over the years (7 years and 2 kids later) we just seem to get on better as the years go by and seem to understand each other better.

It helps that my PMT has been controlled too

Go for it Serenity, you could always run him a bath and jump in with him. Dp and I were luved up teenagers many, many moons ago and we got married in March after 20 something years apart, so I'm luved up all over again, only wish I was a teenager again, oh well, can't have it all!

Frankly, I feel the fact that his career has in some ways benefited at the expense of mine should damn well make him feel special enough.

Hmmm SMK - might shock the DCs and we usually save water by showering together anyway.

Not spending the evening on mn

:o

I've said it before....I'll say it again READ TODDLER TAMING...

Lower your expectations
Distract from anti-social behaviour
Allow DH to make choices on the small issues
Praise, praise and lots of praise

Only joking!

somanykiddies, yes there's an idea of meeting in Exeter next. when someone gets around to organising it.

Dp also mentioned that one way i inadvertently (all mine are inadvertent) made him feel special is when I gave in to his advice on, for example, woolly hiking socks.

he's bizarre. he didn't even mention sex. just socks.

I still can't see why one should. Is this just me?

MI my approach to relationships is that if you have to bother they're probably not worth it. but have been ticked off for this over-robust approach on relationship threads before and am trying to be more constructive now.

He he Fennel, me, I'm just luved up!!!

Why, what do you want? He was special enough for me to chose him over the multitudes of richer, better looking, more talented, better hung, less bloody pragmatic, more romantic div's that were hanging around at the time when I felt time slipping through my fingers!

I think that should be enough for any pragmatic soul.

Lol what are you lot like!
