Hey Clinte, good to see you and hear you are doing well!

Well, this is one I can answer! From personal perspective, it can be little things that make a big difference. The little clues that show someone they are important to you, and special.

* Look at her when she is speaking and when you are speaking together. Give undivided attention and show interest.

* When she comes home, or any time you meet, let your face show that you are glad to see her. Smile, hug, kiss, whatever works for you two.

* When she vents about something, or is upset, she may just want a nice reassuring hug. It can convey a lot, even without speaking -- that it will be ok, that someone cares. You can go ahead and talk of course too, but don't be too quick to try to "solve" (or tell her what she should be doing!). You can inquire if there is any way you can help. She will let you know if there is. The majority of the time, it's looking to be heard, and for reassurance/comfort, not answers.

* Be playful. Things like...Nuzzle up in the kitchen, put your arms around her, smile and give her a little squeeze. Apropos of nothing. Out of the blue. I think it's safe to say that the wild majority are going to find the spontaneity very endearing. It makes someone feel special too -- other people don't get that special treatment, just her.

* Do things without being prompted. Tell you you love her etc. first. In other words, don't fall into a habit or waiting until she says something, then just echoing. Initiate.

* This can also apply to things that need to be done. I don't know your household arrangements, but maybe it is something like doing the dishes, or tidying up a mess without having it pointed out. Maybe she is out running errands. It is such a good feeling if you come home tired and hungry to find a meal made (or prepped and ready to go, if arrival time unknown or depending on kind of food).

* Do something she likes, but you don't particularly care to do -- without bemoaning it.

* Every so often, comment positively and randomly about something physical that isn't an issue area. Soft lips, adorable ears, like that. Not saying you necessarily have to limit it, just be aware and show consideration for issue zones --if she has any. Most women do. Don't ignore an area she may feel insecure about, but don't be overly focused on or make a big deal about it either. These kind of things come with the usual caveats of course. A no-go is a no-go. Respect.

I could go on…. But that's probably enough for now.
If you wonder why on any of them, go ahead and ask, I'm happy to say why!
These are for general use as well of course, but I can relate to having issues and some of this is specific to avoiding triggering. Especially the last, of course, and I'd be happy to tell you why the do and not do of it.

Damn, now if I only had a printer… I know someone who could use a few reminders….
