Things Your Husband Wants To Tell You But Won’t
Ran across this Parenting.com article on CNN. Here are a few things from the list:
‘I want to cuddle’
Guys who were never big on cuddling (except, of course, in the early days when they were trying to get in your pants and convince you to stick around) are as surprised as anyone to discover that now that there’s someone else competing for your time and attention, they yearn for the physical and emotional connection that comes with a simple snuggle.
Sure, all things considered, we’d prefer to have sex and then cuddle. And for some men, the cuddle is welcome because it gives us a tiny shred of hope that you want more (yes, even though we know we have to get up early tomorrow).
‘Take charge in bed’
Okay, here’s the deal: As dads, we know that sex often feels like a chore on your to-do list. And because we also know that there are a lot of chores on that list (many of which we do our best to avoid), we end up lobbing a lot of sexual softballs in your direction knowing that most of them won’t be in your sexual strike zone. But after a while, all that pitching starts to wear us down.
Sex may feel like a chore to you, but always having to be the one to initiate it starts to feel like a responsibility to us. And the last thing we need is more responsibility.
‘I want more guy time’
Now that I’ve told you how we really feel about date night, you should know something else: Even though you’re our best friend, the mother of our wonderful children, and the love of our lives, this Friday night we’d really like to hang out with our buddies and watch “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” complete with commentary by Ricardo Montalban.
Please don’t make us feel even more guilty about it: We know we never get to go out and do stuff together; we know we constantly complain about how we just want to spend quality time together (i.e., have sex); and we know we promised you a night at the ballet. But as much as we love you, you’re, well, not a guy.
‘You look hot’
You know this, right? Oh, what, you don’t? We know you’re convinced we’re crazy — how can we possibly think you look sexy when you feel overweight and out of shape, when you haven’t gotten a pedicure in ages and your eyebrows need to be waxed, when your clothes are all puke-stained, and when you haven’t showered in two days?
We get it. But you know what? We still think you’re hot.

What do you think of the list? Fellas do you feel it’s on target? Ladies can you see some truth in this?
