Thanks for reading my thread.
So yesterday, I went shopping. I thought I'd treat my wife. I picked up some flowers, bottle of bubbly, bottle of red wine and everything I needed to cook a special 3 course meal.
I prepared everything nice and early and before meal time we went to watch the towns xmas lights be switched on.
On our return I got the kids to bed, laid the table, lit a candle, dimmed the lights, started cooking, gave her the flowers and switched the TV over to a music channel.
I believe that all 3 courses of the meal were absolutely perfect in taste and presentation - she didn't have to lift a finger.
So what went wrong?
Conversation was dry. In fact apart from discussing the food the only other conversation we had was about her work. Between courses, she turned the TV over. The bottle of bubbly didn't even get opened. After we'd done the dishes we went to bed, still nice and early. Not a kiss, not a cuddle, not even a "Good night darling" - Just absolute silence.
I got back up after an hour and slept on the sofa.
Should I be worried?
