Sooner,
I took a page out of Corri's book and went with the "lay it on the line" approach. Oops. Where is that girl, anyway?!

I don't really want to speculate too much about what could be going on in your wife's mind right now. The issue of time is interesting. Time is relative. In your mind, it has been awhile since you guys have had an argument because you're noticing and working hard at not arguing about sex. For her it may not seem as long because she isn't paying as close attention to the passage of time as you are. Kinda like that saying about how slowly a watched pot takes to boil.

Corri is right about upbeat, happy people being attractive. You want to be around those people; you want to be like them; you want them to like you. I think you're doing good there. That is your typical personality for you anyway, isn't it? I hope you feel better getting back in touch with your true self again.

I'm also going to say something I said to you awhile back, to give you hope. As my children have gotten more and more independent, less needy...the sex issue has gotten easier and easier.

Best, MPT
