How do I get hubby to warm up to the idea... - 01/08/10 07:39 PM
of simple romantic things? I feel like a goof for asking. It's just I have brought it up a lot during the last year and he doesn't seem to want to do it at all. He may be viewing me asking him about it as me pestering him. Even though I have tried my best to avoid doing that.
The romantic things I'm talking about are simple. I.E. home cooked candle-light dinner for two/four, a moon lit stroll, etc. I've asked him about his thoughts of romance and the best I got out of him was him playing video games while I watch. Maybe add a small conversation about the game, but not much more.
Granted he is in the military and I don't get to see him often. That's not a reason to why there should be no romance in our marriage. Each time he is home and I get to see him I may bring it up once MAYBE twice, max. The way I see it is that I've given him PLENTY of opportunity to do something small simple and romantic.
This last time he was home, I didn't bring it up at all. Should I have? Or am I just being overly hopeful? Should I leave it as a fantasy that will never be full filled? Or should I continue to "pester" him about it?
