Giving and receiving compliments
A few days before Christmas, whilst B and I were driving down to her parents' house, we started talking about how we'd stopped paying each other compliments since our children had arrived in 2005. Spending much less time together, coupled with new responsibilities as parents had resulted in a gradual decline in our expression of mutual appreciation. This hadn't been a conscious decision from either of us. It was something that had just happened over time. Sitting in the car, the children asleep in the back seats, we decided to rekindle this part of our relationship. "You start then," I said, thinking of all the things that I love about my beautiful wife.
"Hmmmm..." she said quizzically after about ten minutes. "You're quite good at parking."

J - this is because you've looked even more like a bag of shite (see your other blog) since you've been married with children, so there were few compliments to give. It's just you that forgot to give the fragrant B any.
