[quote=Anonymous]I’m a DW who commented in the other thread about how my DH used to take me on dates and buy flowers (and how that has fallen off and lo and behold, so has our sex life).  Obviously it’s harder now that we’re juggling young kids and busy careers, but mostly I just want him to make some semblance of effort to treat me like he did when we were dating: like a desirable, interesting person and less like a business partner.

Like, if I arrange a sitter and make a dinner reservation he’s happy to go out and we have a good time, but he never initiates that himself (and if I have to ask him to, it defeats the purpose).  And flowers/little gifts? Initiating a real conversation about something other than who is taking Larla to karate? Telling me I’m beautiful?  Forget about it.  Mostly I miss the effort/genuine interest.

I said it in the other thread - everyone wants to blame wives for changing without wanting to acknowledge that husbands change, too.  I didn’t actually change all the much - if I wasn’t the kind of girl you could ignore all day then text at midnight for Netflix & Chill while we were dating, what makes you think I’ll turn into that after a decade plus of marriage?[/quote]
