I have to agree with AFEH's post 100%. There's an old saying I heard somewhere:

Women want to be loved.

Men want to be admired.

Sometimes I can't believe that about myself. . .that I could be that obvious, you know? But it must be some kind of "birds and the bees" thing, that male want to fluff up their pretty colored feathers and have the woman they have chosen get aroused by that.

Call it the male ego I guess but I suppose it's true. My stb-x didn't admire or respect me one iota so it caused me to leave her.

Maybe that is how we interpret love in our brains but I would say the chances wouldn't be bad if you showed some genuine admiration for your husband that you just showed us.

I hope it works out for you.
