How are things? Still doing okay? Any trouble with coming down from the high of the other day?
Thanks for the support the other day...MPT is very gracious, though, so thanks to the both of you. I'm a little bloody from another thread, and I'm thinking that MPT's idea of creating a little distance from the BBs might not be a bad one...
Thanks for checking up on me. I'm doing fine - although a little taste definitely does get the mouth watering, know what I mean? Things continue to go pretty well with the wife. She's quickly becoming more comfortable with occasional flirtatious touching (mainly away from the bedroom to keep her from feeling pressured) and she's continuing to open up to me. My 2-year old got sick last night before I went to bed so I brought her downstairs and put her in our bed - pretty much ruled out the possibility of a repeat perfomance. But I'm hopeful that it might happen again soon - my wife is kind of starting to get that look in her eye.
I've kept up with the "bloody" thread and I think you've done fine. I had written up an argumentative reply to a couple of the posts that were directed at me, then I decided that posting them wouldn't really help anyone. So I've kept my mouth shut. My intention with my one post on that thread was to stir things up a bit and get the dialogue going with those who could really help. I think I succeeded in that respect.
I know what you're saying about getting away from this BB for a while - I've been thinking the same thing. Hope you have a great holiday weekend.
Hi everyone. Just a quick update for lack of anything better to do at the moment. I'm starting to worry that the look in my wife's eyes that I mentioned the other night is already gone. Granted it's only been a few days, but right now I'm dying to make love to my wife and she doesn't seem to be the slightest bit interested. I'm still trying to stick with the no pressure approach, but it's hard (literally! - sorry, couldn't resist).
We've been busy since Friday - 50th birthday party out of town for an uncle Friday night got us home late. Saturday around noon we headed to my wife's parents house to drop off the girls then the two of us went to see my Sooners play football Saturday night. We ended up so badly soaked from the rain that we bought clothes at the bookstore on the way out of the game and changed before stopping off for a late dinner. We stayed the night at my wife's parents then came home today. I met my Dad to hit golf balls late this afternoon (supposed to play tomorrow with some buddies if we don't get rained out) and after getting the girls to sleep tonight I went and ran. After I got back my wife was still up, which is unusual for her. She eventually laid down in bed with the TV on, and I laid down beside her (still clothed and not really ready for bed) kind of rubbing her back and hoping to spark an interest in fooling around. But she acted annoyed that I was touching her so I said goodnight and here I am. Not really the progression that I'd hoped for. Needless to say I'm a little down at the moment.
If it makes you feel any better, I got shot down last night myself.
Since your wife is still exhibiting behavior outside the norm, my guess would be that she probably wanted to continue 'hanging out' with you. Your night sounded kind of cool to me, so maybe she just wanted to be near you.
Sorry, I meant to say your weekend (instead of 'night') sounded really cool to me...like the two of you really enjoyed yourselves together doing things outside the norm.
Sorry to hear that you got shot down, but I see that you made up for it the following night so I'm happy for you in that regard.
Yeah, my wife and I actually had a pretty nice weekend together. I enjoy doing things like that with her, but it would sure be nice if romance could again be a regular part of our life together. I miss so much the times when she initiated regularly, and when I could initiate knowing that she would be responsive rather than annoyed. Maybe we're slowly making progress, but it sure doesn't feel like it sometimes.
I see that you hate golf! I played yesterday (my second time now) with my two best friends from elementary school. It rained on us nearly all day which didn't help anyone's game very much, but we still had a great time and it was nice not having to fight any crowds. Both of my buddies are fairly regular golfers and I was encouraged that they both seemed to be impressed by how well I was doing for just having taken up the game - even complimented my swing which was a surprise. I actually outdrove them occasionally and had quite a few good shots throughout the day. But I'm quite inconsistent - I can't seem to string together many good shots at this point. Also, I definitely need to learn how to chip and putt. Anyway, it was a lot of fun and great exercise walking 18 holes through a "swamp". I'll definitely stick with it and try to improve.

I know, I know... take it one day at at time...
Hey, I'm curious how she has been this week since you gave her that backrub the other night and you felt her tense up... has she withdrawn at all, or is she still doing okay?
On to golf...

Welcome, my friend, to the wonderous game. Ah, golf, where we pay to be frustrated, willingly humbled, and all it takes is ONE brilliant shot to convince us to come back out and do it all over again.
It's a great game... at least it is on the days we score well. Does your wife play?
Quoting Corri:Hey, I'm curious how she has been this week since you gave her that backrub the other night and you felt her tense up... has she withdrawn at all, or is she still doing okay?
I don't think that she's withdrawn at all - but she's not advancing any either. I could use a nice advance about now! In your opinion Corri, should I just stick with what I'm doing or is there something else I could do to make this whole process move a bit faster? Just curious if you have any more ideas.
Oh, forgot to answer a question. No, my wife doesn't play golf although I know that she played a little bit years ago. I don't think that she has any desire to play at the moment however. I'm sure she could pick it up easily if she wanted to - she was a star athlete in high school and went on to play one year of college basketball before deciding that it was too much work when combined with classes.
