Thanks Ellie You are right, nothing in my life right now is as important as my relationship with my wife.
I have told her a thousand times that I love and cherish her. I am only now realizing, through all these years, that I probably have NEVER SHOWN HER. How sad.
We are having a blast. Partying like a couple of college kids. I guess what I was wondering is; is this actually a constructive avenue for working on our relationship?
I know she has missed doing these things, and so have I. The pace is a bit much right now, but I think that is just because it has been so long since I have given in and let go...and a long time since she has had me along for the ride.
She has made a comment, or asked a question here and there, implying that I am just doing this because I think it is what SHE wants. I have tried to politely ignore them. As more time passes, I truly believe she is feeling the change in energy.
At first I felt like she was just giving in so that we did not have to sit at home, bored and avoiding each other. Lately I feel more closeness, but sense her caution. I am still amazed at my ability to NOT discuss the relationship, trust me.
And don't get the wrong idea. Besides our social lives, I have plenty of other things that I have put off or not done over the years. There are plenty of surprises in store for her if she stays around long enough to notice. And trust me, a lot of them are things that are for me, not her.
