Way back many years ago when I was getting my masters degree (...in counseling...a lot of good it's done in my sitch!), I took a class in cognitive behavior theory. I remember the teach talking about how introverts will gradually learn to adapt and live in an extroverted world. They will find a way to overcome their shyness and come out of their shell, but will still feel uncomfortable in, or avoid situations where they will be in the company of a lot of people they don't know. That's me. Few things make me more uncomfortable than entering a room full of people I don't know.
By the way, Jeanette, you really fogged up my reading glasses with your little blankie and bottle of wine idea. Whew! Down boy...
And before you all get gushy about what a nice guy I am, let's take a look at where I'm at right now. Sure, MLC isn't about me, but I haven't been the greatest marriage partner, either. I got lazy. I figured if we'd been married for 23 years, I didn't have to work at it anymore. So the romancing stopped. Sex became more of a release than an act of love. And with the kids out of the house, I became a little self-centered. Now of course, none of these behaviors plunged my wife into MLC, but they didn't help, either. I'm no golden boy.
But you guys make me feel good, anyway.
So...sleeper. Did you feel compelled to do something masculine after you experienced that feeling? I still tear up over the "You complete me" scene in Jerry Maguire. I then feel compelled to change the channel to ESPN, drink a beer, smoke a cigar, adjust my crotch...etc.
And now...what you've all been waiting for...MC session #5!
Oooops...gotta go to work...
No worries. Today's a slow day. I'll catch you all up between appointments. I'm dying to hear your feedback, because it was VERY interesting.
Later folks...
