[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DW who made some of those comments and I love this post. It makes me think of ways that I should step up my game too. Although I don't think that appreciated = loved?

Anyways, DH makes me feel appreciated when he says thank you for things that I don't feel like even deserve a thank you, like playing with the kids or making him a sandwich along with my own if I know he's going to be hungry.

He makes me feel loved when he says things like "wait stay, I want to talk" and then just chats about his day. When I walk into the room and he looks happy to see me. When he plays with my hair as we sit together and watch a show. When, after I'm interrupted by a kid in the middle of telling him something, he later returns and asks me what I was going to say. When he sympathizes with my frustrations, even when we both know I shouldn't really be frustrated. When we argue and I can tell he is really frustrated but is trying his hardest to get where I'm coming from. When he listens to all my frustrations and then gives good advice if I need it. I also feel really loved when he leans on me for emotional support; I really admire him and the fact that he would go to me for advice means a lot.

I would feel more loved if we cuddled more, but I have asked him and he forgets, which he feels bad about. So I have just taken it upon myself to scooch over to his side of the bed at night and cuddle as he checks work emails. No, it's not romantic, but it works.

This is OP.  Thank you for these examples.  These are extremely helpful to a knuckle head like me. [/quote]
