My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always  been the rock in my life. I knew he had his feet 36 planted on the ground ,and it seemed that no matter what else went  37 , he would be the constant one.
Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel  38 of him because he never brought me flowers , he never   39  me, and nothing had changed in our marriage.
After  40  , I finally told him I wanted to be  41  . He just sat there , speechless and didn’t even know            __42__to say to make me stay . Finally , he spoke ,“What can I do to change your 43 ?”
“I’ll stay if you have a good answer  44 this question,” I replied coldly。“If I asked for a  45 
growing on a cliff, and getting it for me   46 certain death, would you still do so ?”
His face grew troubled.“Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning ?” With that , my heart  47 . He couldn’t even give me an answer  48 away.
The next morning , I found he was    49 .However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk . My eyes   50 misty as I was reading it
“Dear, I’ll give you my  51  .
After you do typing for a long time , I need my 52  to do it for you.
Every time you leave the house , you forget your keys . I need my legs to run 53  and open the door for you… that’s why I cannot pick the flower for you….”
With tears   54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.
Just because someone doesn’t love you  55 you want him to, it doesn’t meant that he doesn’t love you heart and soul.
