Quoting LL: I'm of course guilty of this as you well know but c'mon brian.... she should have known really now...she should just know when you are angry or bothered and don't say anything? well then perhaps you should have known that she was feeling smothered and was turning around to get a bit of breathing room.
Yeah, OK, that was unfair of me. I guess I thought the situation was like your H's phone hang-up a few days ago - that this was not something I should have to bring up. She oughta just know that an apology was needed. If it weren't for the fact that I'm gone in the morning before she wakes up, it would have been addressed then. In retrospect, it all seems a little silly and childish of me.
Regarding the cuddling, I know I shouldn't take her rejection of it so personally. It's just that the situation used to be somewhat reversed, where I was the one who didn't like it and she did. Don't know really how that changed over the years. But, another idea I had the other night during our discussion (I didn't mention this in the previous post in order to keep it short. LOL!) was that we would meet in the middle of the bed and fall asleep there, rather than starting on her side. Then, when either of us tires of the cuddling we'll have the room to disengage and move over. She liked that idea. The only complication is that she always arranges her pillows just so (like the princess and the pea, a running joke in our house). So now she'll have to figure out how to arrange them to accomodate starting from the middle of the bed and then moving over (she'll need to go out and buy a few more pillows, I'm sure). Ah, all of these machinations seem so silly, and yet...
