Thanks Alimari,
I just finished reading the thread of yours that you recommended that I read. It was very helpful, Thank You.

I see now what I should be doing. I think what I have been trying to do was the LRT and detaching. But that is pretty much more of the same with me/us. Now, I think what I need to be doing is 180, and for me that would be being more affectionate and Physical touch. I am going to move slowly in this direction though. Maybe just a little touch or a hug every day, Which would be a lot for us at this point. I don't want to scare him off or think I am pressuring him.
Yesterday we were watching a movie on TV, I got up to sit next to him on the couch at one point, rather close to him, touching him. I told him if he felt uncomfortable or awkward I would move, he laughed and said No he was fine and that he could see that I was trying. That was a good exchange right ? He didn't ask me to move, and he said he could tell that I am trying.

Thanks again, Shelby
