You're doing a good job, you sure have the right attitude. To be totally honest, if he knows you wouldn't even consider going out on a date by all means DO IT!!!!!Or, don't really do it but let him think that you may be entertaining that idea. That doesn't mean you start a new romance, that means going out to dinner or something with a member of the opposite sex, nothing more, nothing less. I know this flys in the face of whats normal, but maybe in your sitch, if all of a sudden he isn't 150% sure you wouldn't go out on a date or whatever, that plays into your favor. We men are jealous, nothing makes us stop dead in our tracks and not take our wives for granted when we see they're being pursued by another man. I don't know Sue, by doing a 180 here, you might be able to get the reaction out of him you've been waiting for.
