Is this what it takes to have women feel they are loved by their man?
Absolutely not, it's just how he shows it. There are no broad strokes to paint love with. Also, I don't "expect" that from a man, nor do I get angry if I don't get it. It's his perogative, and how he chooses to show it. I do just as much for him, and I wouldn't love him any less if he stopped doing dishes. I just had to point out how wonderful he is, in appreciation.
