Some of you know that I am having to start over in making my wife love me again. My question is, It seems to be a hassle for my wife to have to kiss me goodbeye and say I love you. I want to keep doing it but I dont want to stress her with it. Should I keep telling her or not? Thanks

Are you asking if you should keep telling your wife that you love her? If so, then absolutely HOWEVER if you are expecting her to return that statement then I would recommend you lower that expectation. Heck, you can actually say it in a manner where there is no need for her to say it....
When you head off, simply give her a kiss on the forhead and say "I love ya, baby... Have a wonderful day" and turn and walk away...... Thus you are not putting her in a position where she feels like she has to say I love you or kiss you......

I dont expect her to return it. It just seems like she is just saying it for the heck of it and I didnt want her to feel pressured to say it. Eventually yeah, I will expect her to say it, but I know I have to work back up to that level first. The example is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks much.

I asked that question about my situation a while back and a wise poster said.
Hey if she says it, it might be a (fake it till ya make it) but who knows right?
The important thing is you say it cause you feel it and mean it.

I like the example that he gave. It is quick, not too forward, and that way there is no expectations or she 'has to respond'. Another thing...is to call her once in awhile from work...and just to say...how are you doing? Or maybe is there anything that I need to pick up on the way home to make your day more pleasant. Or just to say Hi...been thinking of you. LIttle things make the big difference.
Good luck....Blessings....LoveinHim
