Hey Mom of 2... At this point I'm simply going to say (again) that the sooner you TELL your H what you need/want, the sooner you'll both know what can be done to get things moving again.
If there is nothing specific that comes to mind, maybe the two of you can start brainstorming. Hell, check out some websites together, if you know what I mean or maybe go to the library (or video store - LOL).
I'm hopeful that your H takes the hints/clues that you provide and runs with them. However, if he does not, make sure he understands you are giving him hints/clues.
Just recently, on Friday maybe, I told a friend of mine that if he does not dance with his wife, someone else will. In his defense, I believe 100% that his wife should let him know that she wants to dance and maybe even show him HOW she wants to dance.
Milo Z was fantastic... sushi is next.

I just wanted to mention that we have another person on the board who went to Retrouvaille last week and said that it worked a miracle for her. That is Blanche. Not long ago I voted her husband the worst of all the husbands on this board for refusing to even give her money to buy food for the children. And now, they are completely turned around and he proposed to her again and they will renew their vows! It is a shame how many people struggle month after month with unhappy marriages when help is out there. You just have to walk in the door to Retrouvaille on a friday night!
Sara. I want to thank you for continuing to offer so much information regarding Retro. When I do speak with my wife I will take some of the (most of the?) information you and others have posted and offer them to her.
I have yet to approach her. I think that after months of being told that I'm pushing her away, I'm a bit gun-shy, regardless of how well things appear to be going.
So, Mom of 2, you're off the hook for now... LOL

When I talk to you and others who would like to go to Retrouvaille, but are afraid that their spouses won't go, I am reminded of a time about 20 years ago when the wife of one of my colleagues at work had a miscarriage. And they were both so sad. I had had several miscarriages before I adopted, and then had children of my own. I said to him, "if you could only see your situation the way I do, you wouldn't be so sad. I see this as the first step of your journey to parenthood. You will get pregnant again, and you will have a child." And within a year they had a baby girl.
I see that again here. If your wife could see the joy that she would feel after going to a Retrouvaille weekend, she would greet your proposition with enthusiasm. I know it isn't the case. But it is the truth.
