So that was a lot of my history, when I look back I can see that I did a lot a pursuing without a great deal of fineness or romance. As W has commented to me on one occasion, once we go married I stopped trying, yes I think she may have a point.
To the present, we havent't ML since last July, and while we've been in this recent sitch I've not been allowed to touch W, and she did a very good job of clinging to the edge of the mattress, any slight contact accidental or not she would jump. Just recently as things have improved we've been lying in bed together as "spoons" but no hand movement allowed above or below the waistline. This was up until last night when W had rumbly tummy, woke up at 2am and she asked me to put a warm hand on her to sooth it. She unbuttoned her night dress so I could get to tummy, and after she had settled I move my hand up and stroked her breast and she didn't object. This morning she quiet chirpy so I know I didn't push things too far.
So I've move to piecing and it's already drawing out of me some deeper issues that need to be talked about. Too be honest I'm not sure if W and I should talk direct or if we should use MC. Last time I mention MC to W her excuses for not going were, too expensive or she didn't want to take time off work.
Anyway one thing for sure W and I need to talk and this was a comment she made as she moved back towards our M.
