I think I've been a bit wussyish for too long. Maybe need to make some changes that'll help me take back some control. I already have done 180's on begging, pleading, and crying, did that a long time ago. I've got a life outside of her. I suppose maybe I need to continue speaking out when she's cold to me. I'm doing it more and more, and at least she seems responsive. I just need better timing with it. Never at bedtime.
glad to hear this, COG...often times, when a woman pulls back from a man, she feels disdain or lack of respect for him. Don't give her any reason for that, but stand firm and tall, be the man you are at all times.
Men can be very complicated, too, you know...sometimes hard and protective, other times tender and caring. Men really are wonderful creatures, no matter what the media tries to say nowadays.
I regret any hint of disrespect that my H may have gotten from me, and i know it was there-especially in the beginning. he pursued me and seemed so needy, i raked him through the coals. in the end, i almost lost him (which i didn't realize)had i not given up my attitude when i did! jacqm
