Guest Bubba Beluga Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I wonder if there are 1 or 2 million other men who have become tragic widowers to the Well Trained Mind Forums? Would anyone be interested in writing a book called the Well Trained to Mind Husband? Just asking. Hoping to get a word through to my wife, and this is the only way I can think of.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secular_mom Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 You should send her a private message via WTM. :D Goodluck, and I bet she'd leave the computer if you offered her a massage. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicAnn Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My dh is always asleep or at work when I'm on-line. But if the OP wants more ideas, a foot massage, a back massage, candles and a book of poetry (Pablo Neruda).... I think would be more tempting than reading posts about H1N1.

sarahv Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Ha. It's just my version of World of Warcraft... I've been a widow far too many years to WOW or Final Fantasy, or any other online RPG. I'm not bitter, just used to it by now, and glad I found my own online addiction. WAY better than video games. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshine Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 ummm, my dh has to ask my ds18 how to log into his bank account so I know this isn't my Bubba.

mom2abcd Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Other ideas for the book: -Invite her to go with you for a milkshake (or whatever floats your boat). Then spend time talking about something pleasant in the car, at the restaurant, etc. -Invite her to go with you on a walk and have some quality time that way. -Make a little peaceful room in the corner of your basement. Set up a couple of easy chairs (facing each other so you can massage her feet more easily), a small table for your drinks, a cd player hidden away (for soft music), and white Christmas lights for lighting. Hang a sheet to separate your little corner from the rest of the world. Take her down there when the kids are in bed and you want to get away from it all and talk. -Plan your conversation ... don't continually "dump" on her about your job stresses, etc. Talk with her about when would be a good time to share frustrations and consolidate that negativity as much as possible. Then have other contact be mostly positive. -Find someone to watch the kids for the night and sweep her away to a hotel. It might be best if this isn't a surprise. Don't expect any Tea. Let her take the lead. Sign up for the Generous Husband emails and use some of their ideas! http://www.the-generous-husband.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
