Unfair .... more often than not , it's not something specific , unless the relationship is just physical .

When ever my wife asks me .... my eyes roll and , inevitably she gets upset because I am not interested in playing her game.

So lads , what do you do in this situation , or do you give the answer you think she wants to hear ... :rolleyes:

I know .... hardly a romantic bone in my body ....

Let me get this straight, you ask a question to the lads, about ladies, yet you decided to post this in the Sister, Sister forum.

I agree this probably should be in the other forum.

---

I give an answer she doesn't expect to hear or one that doesn’t make any sense. I am a firm believer in the saying "Ask a silly question get a silly answer".

This would go for a lot of other questions that are similar; like for example if she ask "am I purity?" or "am I fat" and ect.

Why do you think its unfair?

Maybe she just wants a bit of reassurance? To know that you care about her. :)

Don't make me use my bare hands on you.
I made mine a four page list of reasons. She doesn't ask me anymore.

See that's what gets me. She should "know" I care about her and shouldn't need reassurance of that fact. Most everything I do from the moment I get up and to the moment I go to bed (and even while I'm sleeping) is for her or the kids, there is very little in this world I do just for my self. So then why the need for reassurance?

In fact speaking analytical it's a bit offensive if you think about it. By needing reassurance in this manner is in effect saying everything else done is simply not good enough. But since when are words better then actions? And why am I worrying about actions when its simply words that are of interest?

I agree with what you're saying, Dante, but it is also still good to hear from time to time. In fact, I like to hear it, too, sometimes... ;)

I don't think that with respect to romance people are going to analyze their relationship like a stock broker. I think that they need more than what you are saying. Something special and above and beyond normal maintenance that says that she is worth all this and more.

Also, some people seem to need this displayed visually as in presents, flowers, you dressing nice for her, love notes, or whatever; some need it told to then auditorily with spoken "I love you"s, music, good conversation, whatever; and some people need to be told with touching like hand-holding, caressing, snuggling. I, for some reason, fall into the third category, but I believe that my wife falls into the second category. I have studied this theory and come to believe that it has merit and is at least applicable to my relationship.

So, find a way to romance your mate from time-to-time above and beyond just being a good partner and it'll probably be worth it. My $0.02.

My wife told me once, "You put up with so much from me. Why do you love me?"

I told her, "You deserve it. You deserve to be loved the way you love me."

My wife is probably the most loving person I know. She bends over backwards for me, the kids, our families, our friends, and people she barely knows. Hell, even my ex thinks she's great.

What do I have to "put up with" from her? She leaves the caps off of bottles sometimes, or forgets where she left her coffee cup. Oh, and horror of horrors, she has no sense of direction. It doesn't take a whole lot for me to close the shampoo bottle, or put her coffee cup in the sink. I got her a GPS for her birthday.

I got lucky.
