Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

^maybe he doesnt like to be told all the time?

The most valuable gift a man can bestow upon a woman is whats in his pants.

Be thankful to him every time he blesses you with it.

My husband allhamdoulillah loves me ALOT (sometimes its a bit scary haha) but he has never bought be chocolates or flowers or sung me songs or written me poems. But he never lets me carry heavy shopping bags, he sits on my feet when they are cold, he brings me a glass of water during dinner and lots more, now thats romance <3

You are good at giving advice and trying not to make things worse!

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

Yes, we get it, you're a man and there's only one thing on your mind, etc. But why don't you at least try and sound somewhat less pervy.

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

This is why I asked the op that she says she thinks he loves her so what does he do to make her think he loves her? It is those things that are the small things that she needs to appreciate him for.

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

LOL quite blunt.

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

Awww cute! I would prefer these things to the conventional romantic things.

I'll tell you what's REALLY romantic...when you have 2 kids shouting from different bathrooms "I'm doonnnne.....can yoouuuuuuu waaaash me"...and your husband says "tum behto...main karletahoon"

I'll take that over chocolate, flowers or notes any day

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

He's clearly talking about his credit card. What's so pervy about that? Calm down dude.

Re: Why Doesn’t My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

This!!! And also taking care of the kiddos, letting you sleep in on weekends :wub: swoooon

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

I sympathize with OP, some men tend to be extremely dry. Considering you've already discussed it with him, and he has not tried to amend himself accordingly to your suggestions, chances are he doesn't seem to care much about romanticism. This is the beginning of your marriage, as years pass by he will get attached and eventually begin sending romantic signals. Just be patient. That does not mean you have to stop doing your part. Remember, you have to make up for what he lacks and vice versa. You can't entirely give up and hope for him to spontaneously change one day. Keep doing your part, as if you're teaching him. Keep calling whenever he's at work, leave special lovey dovey notes in his pocket, order flowers, dress up for him or whatever your idea of romance may be. Get him used to it so when you stop doing these minor things, he'll notice and return them back. Individual personalities usually blend in after a few years of wedlock. He will adapt to your idea of romance, give it some time. It works.

Credit cards belong in the wallet. We all know Uzair's frame of mind as well as what he intended for. Don't provide him with useless backup.

Re: Why Doesn’t My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

This is called being considerate of another person’s needs, not romance. Romance doesn’t have to be chocolate and flowers (though those hurt) but saying things like you are really very important in my life etc. also count.

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

You dont long for your husbands body? His masculinity?

Re: Why Doesn't My Husband Make Efforts to be Romantic??

LMAO.

To you, maybe it’s not romantic. But a lot of husbands are exhausted after a work week in addition to helping out with kids/home with wives. It’s not the act of taking care of the kids…it’s the fact that he considers you before everything else. Even though he’s tired and prob cranky and hungry…he isn’t saying it…but he still thinks of you first…that’s romantic, IMO.

A lot of the things ppl have posted are not conventional romance…bcos again, movies are not real life. Men show their affection differently.
