Romance ideas

Love

Hey y'all!

Looking for romantic ideas to surprise my wife with. For context, we have been married for 5 years, together for 7, 2.5 year old son. We both have severe PTSD from past experiences, and she has severe depression.

I am an entirely unromantic person, but she is all about it, and has been really upset during our whole relationship that I just basically don't do anything romantic. I know how to buy her cute things, especially things related to her/our nerdy interests, but thats about it. I am just not an emotionally expressive person, and I have always felt like romance is a made up concept created to sell us stuff. Love is real, intimacy is real, but romance isn't real to me, all feels copied and fake.

Im willing to suck it up and do it just to make her happy though, and I need some ideas!
