    Talking to someone a while back, about how I would love a marriage where my husband wakes myself and his children (my step children) up, and tells me to get up, get changed and pack because he booked a last second trip to [insert place I went once, and would love to go again here].

    "Hey baby, I know it's 6:30am... but get changed and pack. I've already got the kids up and the dogs in their vacation home. Just called the office and I'm using my unused vacation time to say... we're driving down to Rehoboth beach for a week!"

    I bet you also want to be surprised with a car in the driveway on Christmas morning, right?? Without any concern about how much any of this cost or finances etc etc.

    Grow up.

    I want one with a red bow this year, the green wasn't my color.

    Don't be ridiculous!

    Just make sure my Hellcat has the 6.2 liter Hemi. I don't need a silly bow.

    If he really loved you, he would wake you up to take you to Aruba. Just break up.

    Tell him what you want. Men can't take hints, not subtle hints or even obvious ones. Say what you want.

    That's because real men don't need hints or woman that throw them, we do right because she is right.

    Everyone deserves to be in a relationship with someone who's thoughtful and caring (provided you're giving as you're receiving), but it's unrealistic to expect someone to know the particulars of what you want without telling them. Not to mention, incredibly unfair. There's nothing wrong with dropping hints or even flat-out telling someone what you like/want. However, we can't control the actions of others, so it may or may not happen. Try to be less focused on a particular outcome and more appreciative of all of the good in your relationship, current or in the future. Happiness =/= any one thing (even if a surprise beach trip sounds incredibly awesome).

    Sounds delightful! Maybe play the role you want him to play; show him how its done! Giving CAN be as satisfying, if not more satisfying than receiving!

    This is such a bizarrely specific fantasy.
