@dex, I think having a good solid husband is a great thing. I have a very good friend who is married to a nice guy. He doesn't have a mean or malicious bone in his body but he is very flaky and isn't very dependable. She never knows with 100% certainty if she will be able to count on him. Yet he is very romantic and makes grand gestures. She has never asked my opinion and I am not sure I would tell her even if she did but I would much rather have a husband who I can count on and dependable over one who over the top romantic. Romance is nice, don't get me wrong but I would prefer the slow and steady if I had to choose.

As for my marriage, my husband is definitely the more romantic of the two of us. I get embarrassed by that kind of stuff most of the time.

You started a really nice line, thank you

My husband tells me I'm beautiful and compliments me several times a day and texts me for no reason just to hear my voice which he says is very seXy.

He gives me nightly foot massages too!

Romance doesn't have to be cards, flowers, jewelry, etc. The towel warming sounds a little excessive to me. I get up earlier than my husband and shower first so I wouldn't expect him to warm my towels. We have a towel warmer in our master bath which does the trick!

I baked him a cake today and he brought home a very nice bottle of wine. I believe romance is a two way street and takes on many forms. It sometimes ebbs and flows depending on fatigue, state of health, but it's fun to keep the fires burning with small gestures.

What I want is great in bed, my husband is that, great in bed. A hot husband trumps a hot towel every day of the week.

If he is great in bed, why would you think bringing you a towel is voyeuristic?

Hmmm, doesn't add up.

Romance...well there is more then one way to be romantic. My husband will help me do anything. He will take charge if I just do not feel like it. He will buy me my favorite candy bar when out...or a piece of cake. He will call me mid-day and say I just wanted to tell you I love you. He is not a send flowers kind of guy. He will let me have the eye of the T-Bone steak...his favorite and mine and he will eat the tougher side of the steak. I think thats romantic. lol

Perhaps voyeuristic was the wrong word. The thought that he was monitoring my shower and who knows what else is creepy, like living with a spy. This man sounds like a helicopter husband. I wonder just how much his wife likes his intrusion.

As an aside, a co-worker's wife was always calling him to tell him she loved him and missed him and wanting to know where he was, when he would be home. It turns out she was having an affair and didn't want to get caught. They're divorced now. Then there is Scott Peterson, so romantic, another always on the phone, called his wife Beautiful, probably to avoid mistakenly addressing her by another woman's name. How many women have been conned with romance that ended when their money ran out?

Romance can be sincere or a form of manipulation, a deceit to hide unfaithfulness.
