My wife has been showing more interest in dressing up, making more sexual comments towards me, and has been reacting warmly to my advances. She has been wearing things I’ve asked her to wear (that she didn’t want to wear years ago) and has been talking about getting in shape after the baby is born.

I have been so pleased with her level of enthusiasm. She even recently spent money to buy some beauty products and has been applying them regularly.

When she does these things, I can tell she is seeking approval by facing me, angling her body towards me or by stating her plans to improve her body in a questionative way, and I always respond with, “cool, that’s great babe, I’m proud of you taking care of yourself, you are lookin fine, that’s my pretty girl” etc etc.

Today she broke down and said “I don’t want to wear (random item)” and “I try so hard to look beautiful for you” and “I don’t want to look like a (common term for a HB 10)”

Am I not showing enough attention, since that’s her main currency that she wants? Am I not praising her enough? How do I keep encouraging her as she makes these commitments to be an attractive female? What’s the deal here? She said “your standards are just so high.”
