How do I show him I'm sorry?

My husband is a really great guy,like one in a million.We've been married for 5 years now and up until pretty recently I've completely taken him for granted.He's a great provider and does most of the cooking and cleaning around the house while I spend all day socializing and shopping,taking it all for granted.He still brings me flowers a few times a week and does these incredibly romantic little things that just make your heart melt.I never realized how badly I was treating him up until recently when he was in an accident and I thought I might lose him.I've been horrible to him these past few years,going out of my way to make him jealous,ignoring him,disrespecting him and showing a complete disregard for his feelings at times.This was a huge wake-up call and I want to do something really romantic for him for our 5 years anniversary next Friday.He treated me like a princess while I treated him like trash and I'm desperate to make it up to him. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Make it up to him by changing yourself. See a counselor.
Reply:I expect that you have told him how precious he is to you. Heres an idea: take his clothes and underwears and wash them manually; mop the house and refuse his doing anything the day before your anniversary; then plan a great day out and in alone on the day, always making him see that he is precious to you.
Reply:It's great that you recognize the fact that you have taken him for granted all this time. The best thing for you to do, is be nicer, more conscientious and more loving....why make him jealous, and do all the things that would sabotage your marriage. Just love, and be honest with him. That is the best thing you can do, you know you love him, otherwise this would not have been a wake up call. Good Luck and I wish you the best, take care of this person who seems to have done what most guys will never do....appreciate him, he'll love it.
Reply:writing down the things that you love about him, the things that he does and sharing this with him in a romantic setting that you set up ( as a suprise).



a man as you described will probably really appreciate the fact that you acknowledge the little things that he does, and the fact that you notice those things and love him.



then after that the best gift is to work to better yourself so that you can respect yourself and be a better partner to him.



when you love someone we should always strive to be better for them and ourselves



good luck
Reply:HOW ABOUT SHOWING HIM HOW YOU FEEL ,TALK IS NICE,BUT EXPRESSING IT IS BETTER,MAKE HIM GLAD HE'S A MAN,AND YOU ARE HIS WIFE,ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY,BUT WHAT YOU DO,ROMANCE HIM,YOU BE THE ONE TO MAKE THE 1ST MOVE DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO KEEP THAT LOVE ALIVE,AND NEVER FORGET IT COULD ALL END TOMORROW MAKE IT COUNT TODAY

Reply:just modify behaviour more to his liking and comfort and try to get into what he's into. do some things together. be intellectual.
Reply:I certainly do have a few ideas first off your right you did misbehave and I think he stood around for you on the hopes that you might come back to him one day all of you the real you that he fell in love with some people love with everything they have inside and out.....and its a shame that you wasted 5 years of a would be wonderful relationship but its never to late to show him that you love him and RESPECT him no matter what i am a great believer that a man is always the head of the family but behind every great man there is a great woman and she can turn the head anyway she wants there is other ways of getting what you want from your husband i found that compliments and love in everything i do for my husband has paid off weve been married 2 years and im 43 now it was hard for me to let go of my own reigns but i did it and i love him and idealize him to me my husband is my lover, best friend and my hero.....no man or woman or subject could turn my attention from him and that is the greatest gift you could give your husband the feeling that his wife is behind him and very proud to be his wife....good luck p.s start with that
Reply:you did that for how many years? i'd say triple the payback

9 years of making him forget everrrr that you treated him that way! if he's as good a man as you say...he wont ever remember you like that....he'll be far too happy! peace
Reply:Firstly, i would just like to say that you sound like you are a very lucky lady to have a husband like that.



How about a romantic weekend away - have his bags packed when he gets home from work on Friday and say to him that you are hijacking him for the weekend- suprise him with your destination-and show him all weekend how much you love him.



I'm glad that you have realised that you have a husband that loves you very much- it's not to late to fix your ways.



Best of luck...... In what ever way you choose to celebrate your anniversary :)
Reply:Offering a gift would be an insult. How about sitting down with him and explaining to him what you told us here, but in more detail. Chances are, if you just figured this out for yourself, he has had the feeling for years. Having you admit and appologize for your errors would go further than you could imagine – and it would eliminate a lot of the guesswork he's been carrying around.



Good marriages are few and far between. If your in a good one, do whatever it takes to keep it healthy. They can go sour fast when neither person will admit making mistakes.
