Well it's been awhile so I thought I'd give a little update, another baby step.
W and I and the kids went camping for a few days, with W's bro, his GF, his kids and her kids. We had a good time, and here was a baby step. BIL's GF kept nagging him about how the car was packed. She did most of it, and did not like the few things that he did. So she nagged, nagged, nagged about it.
They left a day before we did, so our family had a day/night just to ourselves. So W and I took a walk one morning and had a nice talk. She apologized for all the times she nagged me about packing the car. We both agreed that it's an individual style, not a strict formula. So anyway SHE packed the car for the trip home, and I just helped her. Not much input but just assisted. The few bits of input I gave fell largely on deaf ears so I just helped her with it HER way.
Low and behold, the winds got gusty on the way home, and the big box with all of our gear rolled off the top of the car. Luckily she was slowing down and the stuff did'nt get damaged but we had to repack on the side of the highway. So this was clearly my opportunity to be the Alpha Male, and that load did'nt budge the rest of the way home.
Nothing new on the sexual scene but she's getting more and more confident, and comfortable about our future together. She definately wants to stay together, forever, but she's still struggling with the sex. It's weird but I look at it as scar tissue from a healed wound. Fallout from the bomb. I'm still hopefull, still determined, still wild enough to stick my neck out.
I'm gonna keep on taking every opportunity to show the Alpha Male, moving on with MY life, romancing, dancing, keeping things lively, and taking things one moment at a time. Life is VERY good right now!!
Love to all!
