And believe me, making dinner and doing dishes are childplay compared to the things I do for her:
- Bought her a puppy in January, and now I spend every lunch break checking on him and letting him out
- I do her dishes about 3 times a week as she hates doing them, specifically
- I tale her out to dinner, sometimes fancy places sometimes low-key, intimate ones
- I plan trips for us
- I tell her how unique and special she is
- I give her long back massages pretty much every night we spend together (she's got bad shoulders)
- I give her foot and hand rubs, too
- I pick out special movies for us to watch
- When she talks, I try to LISTEN and not just 'solve' her problems... i've gotten much better at this from being with her
- I offer to talk about everything and anything: work, family, stress, spirituality, etc..
Honestly, the only thing I DONT do right now is try hard to be physical with her because I fear rejection.
