After the dip last week, we've been on a 'connection' upswing this week: feeling closer emotionally, touching more, and better love-making. Touch fanatic that I am, I just have to remind myself that at this stage in our recover, she still needs a fair amount of space each day, and that if I go overboard I'll have to pay the price when she pulls back afterwards.
Over time, her tolerance and enjoyment of touching and connecting should go up, as we both get used to it again after many years of marginal connection.
Time, and patience,
Bagheera
