I love them all dearly, and we get along quite well, but there just isn't enough time for he and I to go out on a date every once in a while. I feel that it is important for us to have dates. I am not asking a lot, just once a week. He and I have talked about this many times, and he has been receptive after we talk, and then it just goes back the way it was. My question is how much longer do I wait? I don't want to nag, but I don't want to let it go either. What should I do? Reply to this Question Share |

You are with a man who is a full time father to three young children you have to except what you have or move on. How about once a month or even try once a fortnight. Is there anyway you can spice things up by doing things at home with hi whilst the children are asleep not all the time but to fill the gaps.
Cook a nice meal, play serades, black jack, nintendo wii, dance to a slow jams, massasge, bath together, DVDs, play dress up, bottle of wine and loads of kissing.

Arrange for the babysitter, make dinner reservations, lay out his clothes for him, and don't take no for an answer. However once a week may be just a tad optimistic.

Sweetie he just doesn't have time for you. Tell him you've tried with him over and over again and that you are moving on. Go find someone who does have time for you.
