So i've been married 5 months now and i'm already getting the "you're never romantic" crap that every woman dishes out. she passed her final CPA exam the other day and calls me earlier on to tell me. on the way home from work i get another call:
her: "so did you get me anything?"
me: "what? no."
her: "you mean you didnt get me flowers because i passed my test?!"
me: "wtf?"
then again, two months ago i come home with flowers just because. she drops them on the table:
her: "oh thanks"
me: "you're not even going to put them in water?"
her: "nah, you can do that."
me:
i also get the "you're idea of romance is sex." yeah, so?
man, i tell ya, all women are
s. anyone have some similar stories? also, any ideas between the typical flowers and nice dinner that she'll actually appreciate? i think i need some GroovyNeilNeil advice..."tell that bitch of a woman to stop acting so hard in her suv..."

My take on the situation:
Congrats to the OP for marrying a CPA. Within 6-10 years a CPA can be easily in the 100-150k range in salary. I say...go the K-fed route pronto and knock the bitch up. Then play the Mr. Mom role. Make random phone calls while she is at work saying I love you and talking about the kids, and how she needs to go get the bread on the way home. Also, sometimes cry for no reason and just say, "I can't take it anymore!" Get her to feel guilty at least 2-3 times a month. Get a good allowance and take up golf.

I hate to be the one to contradict, but it doesn't hurt to make your wife happy once in a while. I know couples that don't dramatize little things and stay cool about everything. After a while the relationship gets really boring and they end up not being happy. So a little drama, some problems, that good feeling when you make up, and of course the make up sex. It's all part of life enjoy it as it comes. Your situation could be much worse, like you wife to have serious issues like drugs, gambling, mental disorder, physical disability...

As most of the guys said, just be an utter failure at the romance thing. I am and so my wife doesn't expect anything. I win because she finally stopped complaining.

Unfortunately, this is more about "dating" (read: "porking") than maintaining a marriage.
Tom has been married 4 times. Now, the less astute will ask "How does a 4 time 'loser' get away with marriage advice?" But the more astute will surmise that yes, he's made way more mistakes than you, and therefore, is MORE qualified to talk about what DOESN'T work (vs. someone who's successful).
Let me say it again; check your pre-nup, lawyer up. . . and, what's the OP's age?!?!?!
