doug44 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 For Valentine's day my W gave me what I guess would be described as a "semi-nude" portrait of herself. It's from the top up and she is crossing her arms over her boobs. After I unwrapped it she took it in the bedroom and hung it on the wall. I'm trying to figure out the significance of this. I'm pretty dense sometimes (perhaps all of the time) and I'm wondering if there's a hidden meaning that I'm supposed to be aware of. Link to post Share on other sites

somedude81 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Return the favor and give her a semi-nude portrait of yourself. Place it on the wall opposite her's. That way the two of you can always be looking at each other Link to post Share on other sites

It also sounds like she wants to remind you how beautiful and desirable she is. Why would that be, do you think? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty dense sometimes (perhaps all of the time) and I'm wondering if there's a hidden meaning that I'm supposed to be aware of. Why are you over thinking this? It is what it is. Why would there be a hidden meaning behind it? Are you two having issues in your marriage that would make you guess as to why your wife gave you a semi nude portrait? I think Woggle summed it up. Or, do you have kids? And you're worried that they'll see it? Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 LOL, nobody else thinks it's weird? "Hi honey, here's a picture of me, I'll go put it in our bedroom." It may make sense if they weren't living together. I wonder why the wife thought, her husband would want a picture of her My guess is that she did it for herself. She used giving it to the OP as an excuse to have it. She obviously already had an idea of where she wanted to put it. Link to post Share on other sites

You don't know his situation or their marriage dynamic. let's not assume she's doing this out of spite or for selfish reasons. Most men would LOVE to see a half naked picture/portrait of their wives!

TaraMaiden Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 As a woman, my motivation would be: this is, what I hope you'll think, a sexy picture of me. I had it taken for you. because I think you're sexy too. We're sexy together, I just wanted you to know that. It's up in our room, as testimony to the fact that I desire you, I'm still horny and it's what lovers do. It's a reminder that I still got it, I think you still got it, and the bedroom is where we can really let it all hang out, whatever happens elsewhere." I believe this is her motivation too. you've got your own little pin-up there, pal, and think yourself lucky that she had the chutzpah, desire and front to go to the trouble of getting it done for you.

Why did she think I'd want to go out with her? She must be asking me out to fulfill some sort of sick self-validation to make herself feel wanted, and used asking me out as an excuse to get it."

Author doug44 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm paranoid and I'm looking for hidden meaning where there probably isn't any. I'm 66 and she's 61. In the past she has pointed out several times that she looks like she's 55 and I look like I'm over 70. Also, she's called herself a "Trophy Wife" several times. She's probably above average in looks, but certainly not someone I'd call a Trophy Wife. The definition of a trophy wife is: Trophy wife is a pejorative term used to describe a wife, usually young and attractive, who is regarded as a status symbol for the husband, who is often older and affluent. I'm not that much older than she is and certainly not affluent, although I do make twice as much money as she does. Comments like these make me wonder if she stays with me because of that. Perhaps I should feel flattered by her comments, but instead I feel insulted. Link to post Share on other sites
Spark1111 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Doug.....she wants you to find her desirable and attractive. Or appreciate how good she looks for her age. What IS wrong with that? Jeez.....give a compliment or two or three. If a woman has to 'go fishing' for one, or have a semi-nude taken to bolster her ego and impress you, I would venture to guess you got some work to do in that department. Women love to be admired for their beauty by their man. This is not too hard to figure out. Link to post Share on other sites
somedude81 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ha! Turns out I was right. She did it for her own ego. Distant78, whichwayisup, Elswyth, kdark; this is for you guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Ever consider that in her eyes you ARE affluent and someone she is proud to be with? Why so suspicious about her motives? Maybe she says these things because she can't tell if you are as proud to be with her as she is to be with you? Link to post Share on other sites

Not only does it make her feel beautiful it is showing you that she is confident in herself and her sexuality. Enough so that she is willing to get it printed and give it to you. The gift is not even the physical picture it is the act of her getting dolled up, letting someone else take pictures of her in that way and all to show you how amazing she feels in your relationship. Let it happen! Go get a couples boudoir session done, live it up buddy you have a great lady! Link to post Share on other sites

People spend time and consideration thinking about said post and giving their opinions.... based solely on the original content,those posts are logical, coherent, and fairly on the mark. OP then comes back and elaborates, making 85% of previous posts redundant, and as if they're frankly utterly ridiculous, naive and wildly inaccurate.... Wouldn't it have been a little more productive to have told us this before we all theorised? Link to post Share on other sites
