The wife did something nice for me today...

@midnightrose I think I can relate to this... I try to do little things for her... I think I need to step up a little... she is looking for re assurance at times... and it’s not as meaningful if it’s coerced... she is going through some changes right now and needs me in a big way.

@HipYoungDude if you only knew...

@indyjoe I hade some people over yesterday for the games... didn’t get cleaned up afterwords before going to bed... wrote her a note saying I’ll clean up after work... got home and she cleaned the whole house...

How about giving her a "day off"...Pick a day when you're off (or take a day off), find out what she has on her itinerary to do that day and do them for her...errands she needs to run, chores she needs to do, and so on. Just give her a day to herself to do whatever she wants (or not do anything at all) and she not have to worry about anything. If that's not possible then give her a gift of somewhere she can go with her friends or family, maybe a visit to a day spa, or maybe too there is something that she has been wanting but hasn't been able to get...get it for her and surprise her with it. Whatever you decide to do or give, do it "just because" remembering to tell her thank you. Tell her how much she means to you, that she is very much appreciated, and that you love her.

@StokedFox well... sure... obviously I will figure out how... but a few ideas never hurt the thought process
