Hey luvhubby,

Sorry to hear about you blowing things by having the sex argument with your husband - I know exactly how you feel. I agree with you wholeheartedly that a passionate, exciting sex life is very stress-relieving. My wife seems to be constantly stressed and I honestly believe that if she would start setting aside some "playtime" for the two of us she would feel much better. I know that I would.

It's funny that you mentioned the types of books that you'd like to read because I actually spent a few minutes just last night searching the internet for similar books - without any success unfortunately. My wife won't read the SSM either and I've decided that I'm never going to mention it again. I'd be surprised if she ever reads it, which is depressing because I still think that it could help a lot.

I'm actually doing pretty well so far at sticking to my plan and not getting overly depressed. At least I made it through another romanceless weekend without saying or doing something to make my wife mad. But I haven't been at this for very long so I know that it will get harder and harder to maintain my positive mental attitude. I'll be out of town working for a week starting July 6th so if I can just make it until then without screwing up I basically get a week off. Of course, being the horniest guy in Oklahoma, spending a week away from home has its own challenges.

Hope you recover quickly from the sex argument. Good luck!

Sooner
