My boyfriend has been out in Washington State for Army training for the past five weeks. I know he's going to be very sore and he has trouble with back pain to begin with, so I am considering getting him a gift certificate for a massage to a local spa. I've been to the spa a few times for massages and loved it. My concern is that, as any overly-sweet-yet-unsure boyfriend would say, he claims that I "give the best massages" and he doesn't want one from "another woman". I just know that I'm no professional here, and seeing one for his back pain would definitely alleviate some tension and stress. Go with the gift certif or no? Guys, would you go if your woman gave you one?

I've gone twice recently. Once by myself, and then i enjoyed it so i took my girlfriend as well. I was pretty sore, so i got over any wierdness about a guy going to get a message. He will enjoy it, and just to make it that much sweeter, you could go too. Either do a couples thing ( you could be next to each other in the same room) or just buy yourself one too. Why not treat yourself while you think of something nice for him.
Hope he does it.

I'd go. There's no sex involved anymore, especially in Washington State, where the whole industry has been cleaned up. The people who do give massages have been through an extensive training course, earned a certificate, and know exactly what they're doing.
He may like your massages, but you don't really give the best ones. I'd go with the gift certif, tell him you're flattered at his confidence in you, but you really want to make sure he gets a great one.

Many of the problems you may be facing could be just the tip of the iceberg on what is really happening in your marriage. I dont mean to scare you but many problems when they either first show up or if they keep reoccurring could be just whats showing from a larger problem that either you or your spouse cannot even see. One of the only things you can do to help is to talk honestly and openly with each other in the marriage. If things become more serious more serious options need to be looked at as possibilities. I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've been writing about. If you feel like checking it out I would completly suggest it. Read here https://tr.im/Jroom
Love is a choice that is made everyday when you wake up and every night when you go to sleep. Some days you may not feel the original feeling but love isnt a feeling or an emotion. Its an action a verb. Falling out of love may just mean you need to spice things up a little or that you were never in love in the first place. Don't just get out of a marriage just because you don't think you like the person anymore.

This is a GREAT idea for a gift to your boyfriend! Just because it's a professional massage, doesn't mean it's going to be some erotic experience, that will cause him to be unfaithful to you! You may give good back rubs after a long day... But, I'm willing to be you are not a licensed massage therapist! He will be most grateful!

Yes..give him the certificate. Guys may say that their woman always give the best massage, but it also feels good to get it from a professional who is getting paid. If you give him it as a gift he will not decline it, trust me. Offer also to drive him their, drop him off and you can go shop at a nearby store, OR get one for yourself at the same time. and then try this...a few days later offer to give him a massage and ask him which was better, yours or the spa....it will make for some fun.

A Gift For A Guy

I'm not a guy, but I think that's a good gift idea. If you think he'll be standoffish about it...maybe you could get a 'couples massage' appointment and you can both go together. He may feel much more at ease if he thinks it's something for you as a couple.

My man LOVES me, loves my massages, and from time to time he does get a professional massage, for some neck/shoulder problems.
It's no more weird than going out to eat at some fancy restaurant when you can cook at home.

if i enjoyed her's better than someone elses i wouldnt use it.but if he really needs it or complains about it you should reall consider giving it to him.or make a deal set up a nice table and some cadels set the mood give him a massage and then just tell him if i give you on you have to get a massage from a professional because your worried about him and his back.(a little suggestion)

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/AHfQR
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.
