Some of you know from my other thread (in the signature) that my wife told me she would read SSM. Over the weekend she made a start, but she's dyslexic and has trouble reading when she's tired. She got partway through Chapter 1--basically just the introduction and the first page. She stopped short of the introduction of the idea of the "Marriage Catch-22" ("I know you're sexually unhappy, I'm not going to do anything about it, and I expect you to be faithful.") which I'd really like her to read because it's almost verbatim something I've said to her more than once without making a dent. Anyway, she was tired early Monday, and I got that, so I told her I really wanted to finish the conversation and she should come to me when she's ready to talk about reading the first chapter either together or separately. That's early Monday morning. Now it's late Tuesday night, and I have to admit, I'm getting impatient, especially since she's had time to take a nap each afternoon, watch a movie with the kids and I each evening, and we just spent a couple of hours laying in bed together. Maybe this is unfair, but it just seems like once again she's letting me know that our sex life is not important and we'll get around to it later if at all.
So, am I:
A. An impatient jerk, for not giving her more time than a couple of days to feel ready to talk, or B. A doormat, for leaving it open-ended like that and AGAIN letting the person who couldn't care less about sex set the pace in discussing sex, or C. Some other possibility of which I have yet to think?
