My wife said she was 'kind of bored' the other night. I know she may have meant it casually, but I have been thinking about it for three days. I have been working late, coming home quiet, making dinner, doing chores, paying bills, and apparently assuming that meant I was doing fine as a husband. That may have been convenient for me. Taking her to lunch today. Then a walk. I bought the blind box she wanted and a necklace I hope is not too much. If you have been married a while: besides gifts and dates, what actually helps when things start feeling routine? Please don't insult her. I am asking because I think I got lazy.
