I am pretty sure that this guy camped out in my living room or listened in on EVERY single conversation that I have EVER had with my husband. I started reading this and related to almost everything that he wrote about. I was glad to see that at least this guy got it and I hope that he is putting it to good practice in his marriage. I also sent the article to my husband, I hope it sinks in!!!!!!
Do I want my husband to read my mind? Yeah kind of (except when Albert Pujols is playing baseball...yum). Do I want/need him to read between the lines? Always. Why can't I just tell him what I want..........he should already know!!! If you have been with some one for awhile and you can finish each others sentences then you shouldn't have to ask for it, whatever 'IT' may be. I have tried the very forward approach also and told my husband EXACTLY what I wanted and did he do it? NO! So I feel as though in my situation it is a lose-lose, a lost cause. I do realize that men are different than women but after a while don't you think that they would catch on?
When my husband proposed to me I told him from the VERY beginning that this was a HUGE HUGE HUGE deal for the girl!!! It needed to be special and romantic. I gave him suggestions, set up scenarios, told him what places I thought were romantic, I even booked a trip to Hawaii!!!!!!! Did he listen to any of those things, nope, none! Did I mention that I told him that this was a HUGE HUGE HUGE deal for the girl? We were on the way to his parents house (after our Hawaii trip) and we had driven past the Lake at sunset (!!!!!) and made it to his parents house, where we would be alone for only one night (!!!!!) and went straight to sleep, yes sleep, no proposal, NOTHING. After the HUGE deal that I made of it, after telling him over and over again how it's a HUGE HUGE thing for the girl...........he disappointed me. No fire works, no sunset, no creativity, no down on one knee proposal. He WOKE ME UP and said, " I guess there's no perfect time, so will you marry me?" NO PERFECT TIME, NO PERFECT TIME, there are MANY MANY books written to suggest other wise.
I guess in my situation there can be no happy medium. I tell him stuff point blank, he acts like he hears me and NOTHING happens.
If any of you know the guy that wrote yhis article, can you give him my husbands phone number?
