a little, sometimes....especially when he compliments me
Not at all. Never was.
No
Sometimes
Yes. Even now I'm more comfortable around him, I still worry that I'm making weird expressions or saying stupid things. Also, he can still make me blush really easily, even after a year.
every now and then... she's one of the few people that can make me blush...
Nope. That went out the door a long time ago.
Sometimes. Not always. When she randomly finds me cute. I'm not cute.
Sometimes. Especially if I'm nervous about sharing my heart or what I need from him.
Sometimes. Fear of idea is stupid or being looked down on.

I don't want you to feel that way. If you do please preface with something along those lines and I will know to be careful with any reaction and be sure to show you that I do want to hear your thoughts and feelings and do not want you to feel that way. I know there are so many things that go unsaid between us and we have to start somewhere with sharing. Yes it will be hard. But I believe worth it. We can't keep hiding behind our insecurities. If we aren't our true selves with each other we will never get to that place we both want to be. I'm willing to try any techniques to get us there. I'm open. I'm willing and I believe I am totally ready.

I'm really sorry if I've made you feel stupid or put you down. That really makes me sad and I know it would have hurt you incredibly. And for that I'm sorry. I wish I could take it all back and be the amazing wife you have always wanted.

Yes! Anytime he says something nice about me.... I go into the "awkward" mode as he refers to it
You do. Too stare, blush, act awkward and then laugh

Sometimes, if I'm feeling insecure. Most of the time I'm not shy around her at all, but wish I was more confident. I want to dance and sing and act silly without fear.
Used to be; not anymore
A little but I had to break the mold
Yes when I'm feeling out of shape or when I'm bringing up our future.
