S4N, I agree with Jazz and Catfan. Also, you might want to look through one of the blogs on communicating with men (www.makingherhappy.com). I deleted the email that I got a couple of days ago - most of the material there is for men, but that one blog was advising a woman on communicating directly with her husband. Remember with a guy, a statement is a statement and a question is a question - guys are mostly simple and direct in their communication. You really want to avoid a situation where you expect him to infer something based on your statements - both of you will probably get upset over the lack of progress. This is a crucial conversation that you need to make sure happens without any distractions - and being direct will actually appeal to him as it does with most men. Good luck - don't get frustrated, I saw your post on piecing as well, there's a lot of us wishing you well and it is hard to respond in the middle of a work day.
