PLEEEEEZE! BB plays you like a fiddle!! Just do what you want, get an RV or whatever, tell BB your you're going and leave it at that. Then leave. It won't be a week before she's whining for you to come back. If you give it two weeks, she might come join you, but if you hold out for three, you might get to to come without the attitude.
I totally agree with what Cobra said. If you do have the guts to leave on a trip, don't be calling her everyday. Geeze, what a downer!!!! Make her miss you. Make her appreciate you. Make her miss you so much that she won't want to sit at home with her damned dogs while you're enjoying the world. Maybe next time you want to take off, she'll actually go with you.....tho, I don't think you'll have anywhere near as much fun with all her conditions/complaints/needs, etc. You know, my dog whines for no apparent reason. I've been squirting him in the face with a squirt gun and he's completely stopped. Think this will work whenever BB complains?
I'm sorry if I seem antagonistic over this issue with BB, but it seems your life is on "hold" because of all her issues. Are you going to wait for her to drop dead to start living your life and pursuing your interests? Sounds crass, I know, but it is a legitimate question. Seriously, how many years do you think you have left that you'll be able to travel and do the things you're dreaming of?
Lou, you're a very patient and kind man. I would've been out of there years ago. Sex seems to be the least of your problems. She's squeezing the life out of you (and not in a good way).
