I'm not really looking for advice on the subject, but my treatment of my husband is strange to many people and I am curious as to whether or not other RPW have similar tendencies. For some women just treating your husband like an adult worthy of respect seems to be asking too much, but I digress. I give my husband what many consider a ridiculous amount of compliments - every day, usually a few times a day, he hears about how impressive and attractive he is to me. This would probably drive a lot of men nuts, but that's why I never dated those men. Physical touch is very important - I use any appropriate opportunity to give him a kiss or rub his back as long as I'm not distracting from whatever he's doing. I leave notes, I try to wear exclusively his favorite outfits when we're together, and I make it a priority to do at least one action each day for his benefit - cleaning whatever areas tend to bother him most, packing his lunches, surprising him with his favorite beer, etc. Does this seem like overkill crazypants territory, or can many of the women here relate? I guess by the same token I'm wondering if my husband's appreciation of this behavior is fairly standard. He would NEVER let on to the public how much he enjoys the attention. I hope you all will keep his secret ;). It's one of those insights into the lives of others about which I've always been curious, but I think it takes an anonymous forum like this to discuss it.
