Hello everybody,
I am going to start a new experiment.
I am in my early 30s and live in Michigan. I have been married for almost 14 years, and have a 5 year old daughter.
I Love my wife immensely, but I have not received much in return for my love and in a long time. She hasn’t said “I Love You” more than a handful of times in the past year.
My wife has difficulty opening up and telling me what she wants. She has depression and I think that is part of it.
I am a very dutiful husband and father. Besides being the primary breadwinner (my wife lost her job in May 2009, and now works very part time), I also do the laundry, dishes, most of the cooking, yard work, and take care of putting our daughter to bed and getting her up and on the bus when I do not have to be at work. My wife manages our money (extremely well I might add) and does most of the shopping.
I have two goals:
-
Getting my wife to open up more mentally and emotionally. I want her to communicate her wants and needs.
-
I want my wife to touch me more, initiate sex, and be attracted.
I know pheromones are not a “magic bullet”, and nothing on its own will solve all the problems. I have tried “Five Love Languages”, “Divorce Busting” and several other self-help books, and this is something new to try.
My plan is to order Instant Honesty and Turn Up The Heat. I plan on using Instant Honesty first, and see where it goes.
If anyone has ideas, advice, questions, or suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for listening,
marriedbug
