Now I've done it... again

Thanks, ladies. That's just it, MK. We are all part of this human condition. Like you said, if only these things were part of our education perhaps we could get beyond our primal tendencies.

I was thinkng of changing tactics with my H, just slughtly. I was thinking of e-mailing the following:

________

H,

I was wondering if you would be available to watch the kids one evening this week. Would you be available either Thursday or Saturday evening?

Thank you,

W

I forget how long I'm supposed to try one tactic before switching... OK, 1-2 weeks. I't's been a couple weeks of being dark, but I have had a few backslides. I guess we've had some improvement...but not much. I don't know if it's the tactic or the inconsistency of the tactic.

Maybe I should just sit tight a little longer? I'm not really switching tactics, just throwing in a twist (like AndyV).

I need a night out, and I think we could use one positive experience. I'll feel more comfortable with him here than taking the kids who knows where, and he will witness me GAL. The last couple times he was here, he offered to watch the kids. He said just to let him know. I have been stubborn and refused not to ask him for "help". I thought, by asking as a request, I might be able to get him over here w/out being needy about it. I just don't know if I should take this step yet. I don't want to come off as pursuing.

Any thoughts?
