alta-pete Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I’m going to jump behind @velo army on this one. It seems 5s are regular/important to you @buchan30 She doesn’t want to cut across that but you’ve both got a (seemingly) rare chance of a night away if it all falls correctly. She also knows that for it to fall correctly it will require you to deal with 5s/grandad/other son. 5s being the easiest domino to topple She’s tee’d it up nicely for you to make her no.1 priority for a night and, to me, you’ve not seen it.

A nice touch, not the main gift, is a nice silver bracelet/chain with a heart engraved with the date you met. Also, there’s stuff online that celebrates the same with a star chart: https://www.thenightsky.com/products/print-12x12-black-uk?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=shopping&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADLetUdIPPGhYTrAzqbc-zPluq0ON&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwae1BhC_ARIsAK4Jfrwg1C1U-_zfyOMsba6vWN-XibgGNU59pMGHnHpVcEn3GrzYaWpDAyQaAgGlEALw_wcB Otherwise, jewelry for 20 is prudent. 19 minutes ago, jimbaxters said: You are too long away from married life, my friend. 15 minutes ago, 'WellDel said: I agree with Jim, it dries up a lot quicker than that...

I guess it depends what she likes? What kind of hobbies and interests does she have? I’d say that at 20 years, she probably has what she needs in terms of jewellery and presents like that. I’d say that booking a weekend away somewhere or some kind of event that she is interested in, is probably going to go down well. Experiences tend to be good presents as they are unique and everyone likes to get out and do stuff they find fun. It’s also something you can look back on as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a short course in tantric massage and then get rid of the bairns for a night. It'll change your life mate. Otherwise, what is it you are grateful for in the marriage? What is it you want to tell her? I'd invite you to be bold and romantic rather than practical. Lean into vulnerability and find ways, through gifts or experiences, that tell her she's desirable and important. I think if you ask yourself some questions similar to the above (or what is it that you're afraid to tell her that she would like to hear?) and just let them simmer then you'll find that things will come to you. The tantra thing is the business though. Some reading material like The Art of Sexual Ecstasy (Margot Anand) and Women's Anatomy of Arousal (Sheri Winston) are great. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 20 years, she's probably got everything she could possibly want. Get a t-shirt printed up saying "I've got everything", then a box of chocolates as a wee surprise.
