[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say most days yes. Brush hair, reapply lipstick, little things like that. Every once in awhile like today when it's ugly and cold out, I get into sweats and don't give a fuck. But overall I do try to make sure he comes home and sees me looking good. [/quote]

What is your fear that you think will happen if he doesn't see you looking good?[/quote]

Yes, I wonder this too. Do you have kids?[/quote]

Yes we have two. Four years and two months. I still manage to get a shower and fix my hair and makeup and get dressed everyday. I don't care if others don't do it but I like to look nice for myself AND for my husband. Really not sure why this position is getting so much pushback on this thread. I didn't realize it had become a character flaw to want to keep yourself up. [/quote]

NP.  I think you're getting pushback because the OP (and some subsequent posts) came across as: 
(1) Doing this primarily for your husband in some kind of 50s throwback, not because it makes you feel good too, and brings to mind playing games to 'keep' your man.  I hope that we all try to do nice things for our spouses because we value their happiness, but I can understand how the way this was originally posted rubbed folks the wrong way.
(2) Judgmental of women who don't do this.

I think it's great to spend time doing things to make your spouse happy and to do things that make you feel good about yourself, and if those are low time commitment / big payoff items even better.  It's just important to remember that what those things will look like will vary widely between individuals and couples.[/quote]
