[quote=Anonymous]PP who wrote about feeling like a priority.  For me, it was things like him asking about my day instead of staying morosely glued to his iPhone the second he got home from work.  Reaching for my hand while driving to a soccer match.  Tagging along to the grocery store.  Surprising me with a bouquet on our kid’s birthday because I had done a lot of hard work many years ago in delivering said child.  Not rocket science but this is what worked for me.

Another poster wrote about a cycle of resentment.  I should add that my DH and I never had a convo about resentment, desire, and stepping up more.  What happened is that I stumbled into this forum and was terrified to see my marriage reflected in many of these posts.  Because I love my DH and want to grow old with him I decided to let go of old resentments because they were getting in the way of my happiness.  I decided to be the one to ‘give in’ for lack of a better phrase.  (Yes that was somewhat of a hard pill to swallow but I value my marriage more than my pride).  I never stopped wanting sex with my husband (no boredom issues here) so picking things back up in the bedroom was not hard once I broke that cycle of resentment.  Shortly thereafter my husband did a complete 180 and is treating me essentially the way he did when we were dating.  He is voluntarily doing more around the house and things are so mich better in every aspect.
