He asked me what I wanted for our anniversary and I told him I wanted to take a couples dance class, so we wouldn't look like idiots dancing at my nephew's wedding in July. He only agreed because I asked for his participation as my gift. What I really meant to say is he is not exactly insensitive, it is just subtle things I miss.

Diana understands how much this (and the ability to hold a deep conversation and actually say what is on their minds) appeals to a woman. While men, on the whole, want to be left alone if they are in sleep mode, they expect instant response to any cuddling to switch us to what they think is the inevitable follow on. -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Oleander 's message, "LOL, I wonder how many of us married the hunter/gatherer and secretly desire a man like Jaime or John. If I asked my husband to take dance lessons he would probably fall over laughing." on 10:42:59 10/11/07 Thu

I so completely agree. My sister and I have often lamented the fact that our husbands are so single minded- if he wants it, he lets me know, no very subtly, by the way he talks, walks and breaths around me. LOL. And, if anytime, I decide to be affectionate or loving, it automatically switches his brain into...ahem...mode. (NT) -- Oleander, 08:31:50 10/12/07 Fri
- You gals are cracking me up, because you're describing my DH! The other thing that can be irritating is when he's making "suggestions" first thing in the morning...and I'm clued into what is expected that night....hours from then. Sometimes that's fun, and sometimes I find it a bit too ...oh, I can't thing of the word. Help me out. (NT) -- Conmama, 08:59:34 10/12/07 Fri
  - Scripted, he is the author, and you are the puppet? That is how it feels for me sometimes. Still we love em and at least they aren't out writing plays for anyone else... right? (NT) -- Jane, 14:45:39 10/12/07 Fri
    - Absolutely, Jane! I guess I feel as if I'm being told what is expect of me later that evening. I think they forget to *woo* us, sometimes. (NT) -- Conmama, 02:59:12 10/13/07 Sat
