Hi all,
Here's a weird question... does anyone have a spouse that is not very expressive? My husband is a really even-keeled guy. I recognize that every personality trait has a good and a bad side, and the fact that he is not particularly emotional makes him grounded and reliable - he is my rock.
However, once and a while, I just want to WOW him, you know? Knock his socks off. And even though I should know after 13 years that it's just not in his nature, I still TRY... to no avail.
For example, about 6 months ago, we attended a fundraiser together. I really kicked it up a notch - hair, makeup, and a killer dress. I felt confident. He saw me, smiled, said hi... and that was it. No "you look great" or anything like that. I was pretty disappointed. Yet, sometimes, I'll be hanging around at home in jeans and a sweatshirt and I'll get "you're so beautiful, baby." Um... what? Thanks?
So, does anyone else have a spouse like this? If so, have you ever been able to finally get the reaction you were looking for?
