You're conversation is hysterical...and hits home quite a bit.

When my husband and I first got married, he would bring me home 'convenience store' roses all the time. Eventually, of course, I tired of them and would just murmur 'thanks' and stick them wherever. Then I stopped getting any flowers at all.

Years later, I received some more expensive flowers at work after mentioning that all the other girls got flowers. Well, of course they didn't mean as much because I had to put the idea in his head...

Maybe the key is to act from the heart...but definitely ACT! 8 * )

Glad you are enjoying yourself... lol

I don't mean to seem inept here, but I am just looking for answers. What is good enough? When is it going to be good enough? Will it EVER be good enough? Why does a relationship need to be THIS complicated?

And yes, this is MADE to be complicated, because by what I have learned here (and in life), women are complicated people. They constantly analyze, and THEN they analyze the results of their analysis! They are constantly evaluating.

So please forgive me if I seem to be a little confused!

Your kidding of course he took the time and effort to bring you something, anything and it just wasn't good enough. So the thought doesn't count after all and you stopped getting flowers.
I can't for the life of me figure out what happened.
I'm guessing it's your world and he is just trying to get along in it, but for anything to give you pleasure it has to be 'perfect' and he has to do everything 'right' or it doesn't count. You really should get over yourself.
