She hasn't forgiven you yet for forgetting her birthday last year?
A few years back, your silliest jokes used to make her roll over with tears of laughter, but now she rolls her eyes at even your smartest remarks?
She says she has a headache everytime you try to cuddle upto her?
And she ends up saying you are the most unromantic and unloving husband in the entire world? Try not to reason with her. There is no point arguing with a woman who calls you the most unromantic and unloving husband in the entire world. Recognise this as a very complicated situation and one that is beyond your understanding. Instead, this Valentine's Day, try to make things better by surprising her with a chocolate mousse cake. I am not talking about buying her a cake, she'll probably end up throwing it in your face. Instead, make her one. She is bound to appreciate the thought and effort you put into it. And it has got lots of chocolate and a bit of rum in it. If this cannot kiss her headaches goodbye, then I don't know what will.
