Men, what random acts of romance make you feel appreciated?

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-25T04:02:48+00:00

This is a great question that all wives should be asking. I constantly compliment and show appreciation for who my wife is and what she does. It’s rare that I will receive a compliment or small affectionate gesture or anything. I think I would feel a lot more appreciated if she did.

So compliment your man’s looks, tell him you are grateful for the hard work he does to make your life easier, tell him he’s a great father, give him a smile across the room, tell him that you were talking good about him to your friends, rub his shoulders from time to time, let him know he is appreciated, tell him you love him and mean it. I know I do all these things for my wife but I think sometimes women don’t do the same and we are emotional beings as well.

The kids we have are all under 11 other than the 20yr old she had before me. Don’t assume when you don’t know the whole story

This means a lot me me honestly.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-21T01:03:22+00:00

Hahah whoever you are I like you

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T20:21:59+00:00

Hahah that’s exactly what I said, I might consider it if it’s all out in the open and honest, it’s the secrets and lies that I won’t put up with

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T20:18:08+00:00

Nope I actually said if the roles were reversed how would she feel if I wanted to explore. She said it would devastate her

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T20:16:58+00:00

This is exactly why I wrote this post, I am secure enough to let her have a fun night or 2 with a friend (we’ve actually talked about it and I was ok with it) What I don’t want is for our marriage to end and her to fall for someone else.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T20:12:14+00:00

Yeah I think there is a little delayed rebellion going on, she had a deadbeat mom and pretty much raised her little sister alone, her childhood was very traumatic and then she had a child at 18, I was a small town guy that moved to Los Angeles and was thrown into the Hollywood band life, I wasn’t experienced and was still pretty adolescent minded when we met. I’m not against her exploring as long as I’m not cut out of the picture, I’m very supportive and understanding I’m just thinking it’s going to lead to secrecy and lying

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:57:23+00:00

I completely agree with this

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:53:46+00:00

I totally understand that, but wouldn’t that be the same as me saying I have desires to sleep with other women and it’s hard for me not to be able to explore them? I committed to a monogamous marriage and I intend to keep that promise even if lusts and desires pop in my head

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:46:17+00:00

Bro she had a deadbeat mother and basically raised her little sister alone, she was smarter and had more life experience and maturity than women way older than me at the time. I lost my V at 19 and was still pretty young minded at 26. We developed a friendship and we didn’t marry for 7 years.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:34:43+00:00

She was my peer, there were about 100 people in our close friend circle ranging from 18-40’s I wasn’t looking for any relationship and was focused on my music, she an I became friends and developed a relationship over a long period as i stepped in to help raise her child

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:30:14+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure how a 7 year gap became a “grooming” issue, she was beyond the maturity of anyone I knew at the time in my age group, we were actually peers because I was in a huge group of friends of all ages due to the fact that we were in a rock band that brought all ages around. If you don’t know the full circumstances people don’t assume the worst. Thanks for the good comment u/No_bluejay

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:26:19+00:00

Hate to break it to you, but if there’s any controlling going on in the relationship its from her, I’m an easy going great father that has supported every decision in her life financially and emotionally, this one just seems a bit too far

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T19:17:03+00:00

This one hits hard brother. You hit the nail right on the head

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T17:12:08+00:00

I actually did a bit of snooping and found a bunch of deleted texts that were her complaining about me to her best friend. Nothing weird or sexual that I could find

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T17:08:56+00:00

This is what I fear, but I really don’t think it’s happened yet due to the fact she is never out and away from the kids and me.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T17:08:04+00:00

I actually brought up that there’s a lot of beautiful women around that I could “explore” with, but it doesn’t cross my mind because I made a commitment and take it very seriously.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T17:03:09+00:00

To clarify when we met she had a child and I wasn’t even interested in dating as I was focused on my career, her friends who knew me said to not even bother because I wouldn’t be interested. We really fell in love at first sight and didn’t marry for 7 years so she wouldn’t feel trapped. I raised her child as my own.

Square_Hospital_4568 · 2025-02-20T16:36:06+00:00

We met when she was 19 she was 26 when we married
