@coach_ashley88: Sometimes love looks like reaching for him first. And it’s something I never initiated before. It may seem small, but being intentionally affectionate can remind your husband that he’s wanted, loved, and chosen too. Since I’ve started reaching for him first, I’ve noticed he’s more loving and reciprocating. And all I had to do was get over myself and make the first move 😉 Don’t underestimate the power of being the one who reaches first. 🫶 #marriage #marriageadvice #wife #husbandandwife #marriagegoals
Just had a talk about this to my wife. Literally just asked her to initiate once. Just once. So we came to the conclusion that as soon as I come home from work I take care of the kids until they go to bed, clean up after every dinner (even when I cook which is about 50% of the time), clean up the messy eaters (kids), do all the bath time and bedtime routine, and wake up with the kids on all weekends and once during the week days (usually 6am) I work from 730 to 4 in construction half office work half field labor. Still waiting on the initiation part. I’ll try again at my yearly review.

Last time my girl did this to me (about 4 years ago), I immediately thought "What is this? What's happening? Why are you touching me?" Fucking sad.

As long as he can accept physical affection without assuming he’s getting laid, I’m game. Being able to give just a hug or just a cuddle when that’s all you’re in the mood for is gold.

This was all I asked from my wife. It makes a difference. I’ll provide and do the heavy lifting. But even we need to feel loved.

If we had power bars over our heads you could watch them fill up in real time just with a solid unexpected back hug.

see here's the hilarious part guys just need the closeness and they want to feel loved and touching us first tells us that. a lot of times we try to do that to you women think oh you just touch me cuz you want sex and in reality it's the touch is what does it for us but it's nicer when you do it to us because it shows us that you are actually wanting us versus just putting up with us which is what most of us feel like
