When a man and a woman have been together for a long period of time, it’s easy to get neglectful and forgetful. It isn’t intentional, but eventually, you just plain run out of new things to talk about.
When you first got together, everything was new and you had a lot to discuss, but after years and years of living together, she’s probably heard everything you’ve got to say. Truth be known, she’s probably heard it several times. Once we’ve said all that we have to say, we tend to start repeating ourselves. At least that’s what my sweetie keeps telling me.
My point being, when you run out of new and interesting things to talk about, you tend to stop communicating. Don’t fall into that trap. Don’t let it happen.
Recently, I posted an item which mentioned that Sweetie and I set aside a few minutes every day, which we call “our time.” These days “our time” often finds us discussing mundane things, such as, “what book are you reading, or what have you been watching on Netflix? Less likely, (cause, I never watch the news) we might even discuss something that’s been in the news.”
The point being, we talk. You should too. When it gets to the point where you stop communicating, one or the other of you is going to start feeling neglected. For the neglected party, over the long haul, that can lead to feelings of doubt, despair and regret. Don’t let that happen to you and yours. TALK TO EACH OTHER!
LOVE SHOWS
From the book Memories & Time ©2017 R. L. King
You can’t simply say, “I love you.” it constantly needs to show.
If all you do is say it, she’ll never really know.
Guys really aren’t stupid; we just make a lot of mistakes,
but just a little more consideration is really all it takes.
Where we fail,,, is in making sure she knows just how we feel.
She needs to be regularly reassured that your love is truly real.
Little gestures are so important to reveal your true emotions.
If she’s to know you love her, you’ve got to exhibit the notion.
Do the laundry, sweep the floor or prepare the occasional meal.
If she’s to believe you love her, you need to show her how you feel.
Compliment her cooking, then get up and do the dishes.
Try to think a step ahead,,, anticipate her wishes.
Kiss her without a reason, hug her with every kiss.
Show her she’s important, that nothing compares to this.
You can’t simply say, “I love you.” it constantly needs to show.
If all you do is say it, she’ll never really know.
