the no kissing thing is so weird. well, not weird, but I guess the reverse for me. after the bomb when we first started having sex again (when I thought he and ow were over), I couldn't kiss him. too intimate. weird to say that, made me remember julia roberts in pretty women and I really got what that line meant. it is a very intimate act. sex is too, of course, but something about kissing, I don't know. I talked to my friend about it and she said it was very normal. but the thing is, H wanted to kiss me...it drove him crazy that I wouldn't. I guess I am just surprised that your h draws the line at this. but then, maybe he's trying to keep his distance and it matters to him, unlike my ass of a husband who could care less, just does what he wants/when he wants it.

I applaud your strength here, neph. good boundary to draw, in my book. not one I'm terribly successful at, granted. probably why I admire it so much in others.

hope you slept last night. I've been thinking of you.
