Maybe I am having a bad day and I'll feel differently tomorrow, but............. When I read your response her Bagheera a ton of emotion went right through me. These are the questions I guess you could say that are going through my head today.......
1) Is this not just a form of manipulation in a way. Going through step 2. It's basically stroking his ego until he's ready to jump on board is it not. I have to say, that today Im offended by that notion. ( not of u ) Cause this would be my point. I went TWO YEARS with NOTHING.......... For 2 years I said nothing, I smiled and was there for him. Let him kiss and hug and cuddle. When he needed some1 to talk to I was there. The list continues, so after all that its MY job to pave the way in a sense..... ???????? Hmmmmm Can you see where I'm going with this. Starting to wonder here if I'm doomed. That no matter what I do, it's not going to work. WHEN does he feel the need to stroke my ego, and walk on eggshells for me.
2)How about HIM accepting ME for me, and dealing with the issue at hand. Because even if it is all a reality, and he doesn't know there's a real problem, or hes afraid etc........ Shouldn't the fact HIS WIFE< who he supposedly loves TOLD him there was a problem be enough? Shouldn't the fact that he saw me crying many times over be enough for him to say to himself, hmmmmmmm maybe I should try ???
