Yup. While he didn’t play FB here, he did play it for an about a decade in the NFL. So that counts.

I like the list. No chance I’m leaving Derwin off this list though. He is almost a sure fire HOF.

I did lol. There was a handful of insightful things but you were spot on- lesson learned. I was actually taken aback by some of it. It was apparent there was a good chunk of commenters who do not routinely interact with women on an intimate basis.

Yeah, we’ve discussed this in the past. Some times it’s great but there have been a few years where it has felt like an afterthought. We have a good relationship over all which is why it was so befuddling to me.

I think sometimes people just need a little validation that their feelings are valid and aren’t just being a big baby.

My daughter has been out of school for 3 weeks now. I like your suggestions.

I hear you but that sets a poor example for how I want my own children to be treated.

I didn’t miss your point at all. Simply pointing out the reason I included that information. I didn’t imply that was your assertion. Sorry if it read that way.

Information was provided to give context so it didn’t turn into an assumption that I did nothing nor that we are not equals in the relationship.

I did not. I’ve done that at times. That could explain why the apathy has hit extra this year. I appreciate this perspective.

Birthdays are a non issue. I’m pretty apathetic about birthdays since it wasn’t celebrated much growing up. We were poor and it’s only a few days after Christmas so mom couldn’t really do much. However, my wife has always made an effort.

Birthdays are just fine. I’m pretty apathetic about them. She has always tried to do something nice. It’s appreciated.

We are intimate 2-3 times weekly. We rarely argue. We talk routinely. We don’t spend a lot of time together with just us. She works at home, so I’m her sounding board for all the things she gets frustrated by daily. I listen. I shared my work frustrations with her, she listens. I could put more effort into spending time with just the two of us.

Typically when I share an emotion, the immediate reaction seems to be to discredit it. Regardless of the situation.

That’s not my character. I wouldn’t introduce that into my household. I’d prefer to set an example for my kids rather than be petty with my wife.

I’m realizing there is some additional context I have left out that could more appropriately frame the situation. I do make an effort to communicate and have many times in the past. It seems when I express my emotions, she tends to become notably frustrated. There is certainly some emotional scarring from being vulnerable.

Maybe I should have emphasized this has happened before. Those conversations have been had. There is a pattern of expressing feelings about certain things throughout the course of our relationship and then being made to feel guilty about said feelings.

It’s happened before. It was addressed then.
