NOT sure if the woman who agreed to be with you for the rest of your life fancies you? Look out for these telltale signs.
She’s married you
Weddings are costly affairs, which means your wife must at least have a tolerance that borders on affection for you. Unless of course she recently turned 35, was feeling societal pressure and wanted some nice photos of her in a fancy dress she could splash over social media. If that’s the case you’re more like a really useful addition to her life, such as a water heater. That’s pretty flattering!
You sometimes have sex
Having intercourse once could be chalked up as an experiment on your wife’s part or a mistake. However you’ve been shagging at least a couple of times a month ever since your wife wearily decided to settle for you. That must mean she is either attracted to you at some level or the toy she keeps in her bedside drawer has run out of batteries. For the sake of your self-esteem, assume the former.
You’re always bumping into her
Whether you’re getting in her way in the kitchen or she’s impatiently waiting for you to finish using the bathroom, your wife always seems to be running into you. This could be because you have poor spatial awareness and live in a tiny house, but the more likely answer is that the woman you’ve been with for years secretly has the hots for you and is engineering ‘chance’ meetings. Or she needs the loo.
She remembers little things
Keeping track of small details, like how much money you’ve been frittering on online gambling, isn’t a sign that your wife is petty and has trouble letting go. This Rain Man-like memory, which can recall every time you failed to meet her emotional and physical needs, is actually an indicator that she has feelings for you. Feelings of disappointment and resentment, admittedly, but she’s not totally disinterested so you can build on that and eventually she might think you’re a fairly okay guy to know.
She compliments you on an annual basis
Women never flatter a man in case he gets the wrong idea and tries to make a move. If your wife utters a glowing compliment like ‘You don’t look like shit’ under her breath then it’s a good sign that romance is in the air. Don’t fish for praise though by saying ‘Pardon?’ or asking for more than one compliment per year. That sort of desperation turns a spouse off.
