Search Results: what does he expect

Simple question right? I will concede that falling in love with someone isn't 100% a choice, its a combination of attraction, and chemical responses. But continuing to love someone i believe is a choice.

Let me explain why i believe that.

Love needs to be nurtured. To maintain the relationship, you can't just expect the "Spark" to be there. Both sides need to make effort. Both sides need to do the things that maintain connection.

For example, Every morning when i wake up, i wake a half our prior to actually needing to get up so i can get extra cuddle time with my wife. When i come home from lunch i hug her, and tell her how much i miss her. When i come home at the end of the day i do the same, and then we cook together.. the important term here is Together. Hell even my furniture choices have centered around making sure that even when we are just watching a show together it means cuddle time. Additionally i took my grandfathers advice seriously, which was "Never stop dating your wife" So i make sure to do things like date nights, and spontaneous gifts, And by gifts, i mean things she's been wanting, to things as simple as chocolate. I tell her she's beautiful every day, and i tell her how much i love her every day. And this isn't one way, My wife does similar stuff for me.

Bottom line, if i chose to stop doing all of that, my wife would first think that there was something wrong, Then she would think that i was angry with her, and finally she would think that i dont love her. It would essentially kill the marriage.

Love, Marriage, And everything in between takes effort, Marriage is hard work, Its remembering to do the little things. Its making sure above all else that you have open lines of communication.

A lot of people fail to comprehend that, and i believe this is the reason for the horrific divorce rate.

See the following poem. it explains it quite well

A so-called young "mom” in Scotland has admitted to bizarrely faking her entire pregnancy — and even trying to pass off a silicone doll as her newborn.

Kira Cousins, 22, issued a groveling apology on Tuesday after her massive hoax was uncovered and started spreading rapidly across social media.

“I’m so sorry,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram story obtained by the Daily Record.

“I wasn’t pregnant. There was no baby. I made it up and kept it going way too far. I faked scans, messages, a whole birth story, and acted like a doll was a real baby.”

Cousins had managed to fool her loved ones — including who she claimed was the baby’s father — into believing she was pregnant and had given birth to a little girl, who she named Bonnie-Leigh Joyce, on Oct. 10.

Cousins sported a growing prosthetic bump to fuel the ruse and held a lavish gender reveal party in the weeks before the “birth.”

The wild sham came crashing down, though, when her mom found the doll in her bedroom last week.

Just prior to coming clean, Cousins went as far as telling the supposed father that their newborn had died.

The story quickly spilled out on social media as friends and loved ones branded her a “serial liar.”

Some loved ones have since claimed they started becoming suspicious when no one had heard the baby cry and that Cousins wouldn’t let anyone touch the newborn.

In her bizarre apology, Cousins defended those she’d fooled into believing the doll was actually real.

“In everyone else’s defense, the doll could move. You could change the facial features, arms and legs,” she said.

“You could feed the doll making it ‘pee or poo’. So when no one is close to the doll, it does look real. No one was looking at my ‘baby’ expecting it to be a doll.”
