Romance

So i'm fed up a little...
It's no big deal or anything, me and my hubby are happy and we have a beautiful three year old daughter, we have a very good life, hardly fight maybe just snap at each other every now and then if we're tired...

I want romance thou.

He's never been romantic even at the start, and it was fine cos i was working and going out and didn't notice the lack of it cos we were both busy... Now i work from home and look after our little girl, and everyday i dream that he'll surprise me, but he doesn't.
If i make nice dinner and light some candles he just asks if i want to go to front room and watch new episode of this or that...

So i thought i should make more effort instead, any ideas??? What could i do???

Thanks

do more of the romance - or if he asks if you want to watch this and that just tell him no, you want to spend some time with him, being a couple, rekindling romance etc (he probably doesn't realise there never really was any )

Have to say, if he never had it in him, it may be hard to change him!

Good Luck

I do, I tell him that i want more romance and he'll say if i want to have sex??? our sex life is good don't get me wrong but that's not what i want at that moment...

that must sound silly...

No, it sounds perfectly normal, most men see romance as a means to an end (sex), most women see romance as a separate thing - a way for a couple to show their love outside of sex.

If you say you just want to cuddle, or whatever, whats his reaction? Does he perhaps feel a bit silly doing it?

We do couddle a lot, but if in front of tv if i'll try to put music on he'll say he's tired and he just want's to watch something easy...
And he is, he does work very hard, he has a very demanding job but i do too... He doesn't c it that way thou...

Don't know why i said he doesn't think that i work hard... that has nothing to do with it... just started to think and felt strange
