Hiya Tim! Looks like things are moving right along in your world. I think the new bed and new "routine" will do good things for your W's peace of mind. Which will benefit you directly, eh.
Hey were you around when I had the baby? She arrived last October and is a beauty.
Hi, Honey... unfortunately, I missed "The Big Event" (echo, echo, echo...), so please accept my hearty, late, and heartfelt congratulations! I'm sure she's a knockout, like her mum...
What timing! I'm rarely here and would hardly say that I lurk. I typically just read the headlines, get depressed, then go look for new music on the iTunes music store to cheer myself back up. I'm glad to see you are still alive not wallowing in some drunken stupor in a crackhouse somewhere with a 350 lb. hooker named Lilli (with an 'I').
I'm sorry things aren't outstandingly better my W and I (well, I really mean my W) seem to slide back into old ways and like you, I'm just more assertive which makes things generally better. It's just tiring because you have to come to the realization that, when the relationship is perfect in every other department, your partner still might not relate to you the way you want to be related to because that's "just who they are"....period. I've quit going to the C because she started irritating me and I figured a few thousand on a family ski trip would be money-better-spent than more therapy for me. Sh!t, what I've learned over the past 6 months is that people really don't change at all, why should I expect my W to change when it seems almost impossible for me to change. So I figure, what the hell...I'll just do what I want now..indulge in my own desires (like 'taking her' in the kitchen the other day ;-) ). It seems to come down to having "guts".
I hope I'm not bumming anyone out....things are better in a lot of ways. I no longer get angry when I see a Cialis commercial and my anxiety and anger is almost completely gone. We don't talk about this stuff anymore...we just live from day to day and talk from the "I" want/like/need/etc. It's seems to be pretty good way to live and also has helped me even more at the office.
Anyway, I just thought I'd say hi.

...and BTW. THhe only time I come to this site, even if it's to read the titles, is when I'm feeling down about things. The fact that I only feel this way every couple of months is a good sign.

Wow, Dave, what an image. Of course, if that were true, I might actually be gettin' some.
Glad to see you again. Sorry things aren't fan-effing-tastic with you either. Like I said, I'm getting the feeling this is a REALLY LONG journey, and the jury's still out as to whether the travelling companions are gonna change or not...

And I have a feeling that if you came here more often, you'd probably feel down about things more often. It's good that you're keeping away more. Me too, I think. Anyway, I do hope we each figure things out before too long...
I take breaks from the board for the same reason: it seems to feed my discontent, my wallowing in depression, my righteous indignation.
AtlDave: you mentioned the Cialis commercial and I just had to comment. There was a commercial on the radio the other day for some sort of natural male enhancement product that was supposed to help you last "longer" during sex. It said that the first month's supply would be free. I thought to myself, at the rate I'm going, my "month's supply" would last for about five years. Or, if they truly gave my MY month's supply, they would send me 1/6 of a pill.
Anywho, I also wanted to mention that "taking" your W in the kitchen is sizzling hot, dave! You stud.
I did take the fetching MRS Choc. on the kitchen island once, at least it started there, orally. While a distant memory, I do recall that Bailey's Irish Creme was involved topically!
Good to hear from you; I was WONDERIN' about your sitch. Sorry to hear it hasn't changed more than it has, but like AtlDave, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that people don't change much, and Life is more about how we DEAL with that, and try to reach some level of peace and contentment in our Rs.
