I am thinking, men may not say it out loud but I bet he will feel the same way. Nitya: Lol@the dialog. In majority, if not all, relationships, women seem to grow insecure for some reason. Men certaily share half the blame for it. Momo: Yuor husband sounds like a very considerte guy. Not many men are like he and me ;) Ilay: "There are a few magic words you always tell a woma" Plaese enlighten us :) Good point, gnightgirl.

When my husband used to travel he would say: "It is a beautiful place, but I will never enjoy it as much because you won't be there with me." That didn't keep me from missing him, but it made me feel better. He did a good job at reassuring her.

Perhaps not. She was feeling insecure, poor dear. Happens to the best of us, one time or another.
