I appreciate yours and Puppy's comments on this, and maybe I'm stubborn or doing the wrong thing, but I'm not going to lock the door.

You said "you are now the friendly, helpful, good listener and active father that most women would love to have in their lives". So if she is starting to wonder who this new guy is after what she's created, I'm not going to change what I'm doing. And one of the things is letting us be more of a "couple". And getting ready together in the morning is a couples thing.

Don't worry, I'm still in my detachment mode. No ILY's, no goodnights, no good bye's in the morning. I never IM or email her first. If she IM's me (which she does daily now) I'm always the one to end the conversation because "I've got something I need to get done before lunch or the end of the day". I had planned on going out tonight but some nasty storms blew in so I skipped it. Going out tomorrow night though.

Besides the coming in the master in the mornings, I think I'm doing exactly what you and Pup advise, and I agree, it seems to be working. And I ain't changin it!

Besides, one of these days she won't be able to resist this hot bod and she'll be all over me like white on rice!
