BTW - what is the longest you have gone in the past before 'caving in'? 3 weeks out of the house or more?

Believe me, he notices. I am willing to bet its all he can do to keep you and this issue off his mind.

You can run, but you cannot hide. I am willing to bet he has had plenty of sleepness nights. I am willing to bet he has laid in his bed alone in agony.

And I am willing to bet, he would be mortified if you knew that.

He is in 'power'. He must 'win' If he caves, he 'looses' and his masculinity is in question by himself.

It is an AWFUL AWFUL time for him right now.


But I had to experience that. Maybe he does too?
