Just a note: Is one of the mods going to dicipline EULA for the totally misdrected comments s/he is making? They're offensive and mean, and certanily not called for.
twinkle, I've been reading this thread through out it's progression and wanting to know more before I've commented. I think I've read enough to make a valid comment at this point. It's fantastic that you've talked to your fiancee about how you feel, because it's important that you feel special but it's also important in the long run to make it clear how you feel and when you feel you haven't gotten enough of (insert item here), or when you've been done wrong. Congrats! My boyfriend and I have been dating for 6 months. We were friends for 6 years prior to our dating. I personally have found it hard to adjust to giving him compliments (the way I believe your fiancee has had difficulty adjusting) because personally I don't come from a backround of complimenting people, as well as being complimented. I think when he came home on leave in May we finally got over that akwardness, we're starting to compliment each other without it feeling weird. I'm glad you are able to stand up for yourself, and see that just because you talk about it once doesn't mean that they'll remember. Men and women alike tend to need to be reminded of these things despite the fact that we feel like we're nagging them.
Best of Luck!
