Your story does inspire me and I'm very happy that you and your husband are doing so well. I'm curious - would reading "How One of You Can Bring the Two of You Together" be as beneficial if read by a high-desire spouse? If so, I'll add it to my list of books to read. Based on lostlove's comments I've added "The Five Love Languages" to my list as well, although like Fred I plan to hold off on the book reading for a while. Just as he stated, reading relationship books, especially good ones, fills me with a sense of hope that leads to an obsession with fixing everything right away. This obsession seems to actually makes things worse.
Fred, my wife is definitely on board with the natural telepathy and mind reading approach to solving problems in our relationship. I understand exactly where you're coming from on that one.
I've noticed that since my post yesterday MPT and jen381 have been conspicuously silent. I'm thinking that I either came across as such a jerk that they've decided not to waste their advice on me, or else they've both run off with their husbands for a romantic long weekend.
