Agreed, go for it. You're right on the ups and downs. Had another 'discussion' (I refuse to agrue any more) early Sunday morning about something that happened 5 years ago - "me male, memory only work for 2 minutes"!!
I still think its a defense mechanism to vindicate what they are doing and everything is a negative. I am finding that not worrying about it and acting 'as if' works well for me (allowed me to get intimate in the morning )LOL.
Feeling more positive at the moment and looking forward to a holiday in the sun in October, so will continue to fight the good fight until then.
