MDU,

I'd step back and let the good feelings from the beach event linger for a while. Let H reach out to you and he will!

Sit tight, baby.

Doh! I already sent him an email asking if he wanted to do something this week. Believe it or not, it actually wasn't entirely driven by my usual impatience this time, I knew I would need to quickly rearrange some things on my work calendar if we were going to get together this week (we usually try to get together during the work day to limit time either one of us has to miss the kids). Plus I need time to plan and shop for a new outfit ;-)

He quickly replied 'Yes, what would you like to do?' I'll take my time getting back to him and make sure I limit initiating any more contact this week, try to create a little anticipation for our next date.

Seriously, it's the planner in me. I do a lot of planning and project management at work so it's especially hard when I am in that 'mode'. I was thinking the other day that I really need to get better about separating work MDU from home/mom/wife MDU. H is not a project to manage, although I do think some of those skills serve me well, even at home.

MDU,

I get that. Sometimes you got to learn to let go a bit and allow H to do some planning. It was one of H's complaints, right?

Since you've already sent out the message and H responded.

He quickly replied 'Yes, what would you like to do?'

How about saying, "Hey...how about you taking this one on yourself. I'm sure you'd be creative! Enjoy!"

Then STFU! Support H in this so he feels good about this. No nitpicking or trying to take over from him.

I'm just sitting back, watching the MASTERS at work here. whistle


I'd say "mistresses," but hey -- it's an Infidelity forum. laugh


Great stuff, Wonka and Train. As you ALL know, I was for a firmer line here, but this is obviously WORKING so I will sit back and only chime in when necessary, other than some general encouragement for mdu.


Keep up the great work, mdu!

Starsky,

I can be a mistress with a boa feather around my neck! Growl. grin

Can I nab you for a sec and please head over to Dev's thread. I think he could use your experiences and insights as he's on the cusp of drawing a 3 foot-thick line in the sand with his W being in an active affair with no signs of stopping at all.

Thanks much!
