PDT,

Apparently Texas is not a troll or a joke - this guy was on the board back in "the old days"!

I have to say I didn't read the "sleeping on the couch" thing as being anything more than humorous/testing. I suppose it depends on how it was said.

And its only punitive and belittling if he lets himself be punished and belittled. I for one don't think Texas should ever sleep on the couch if rejected, and unless his wife is a disrespectful beeatch (in which case why would he want to have sex with her at all?), I don't think she would seriously expect him to either.

Assuming good faith on his wife's part, I think she wants a sex-life again, and wants him to initiate in a confident sexy way.

Bagheera - great post (as always). I agree that her plan is a start, but Texas has to move things along as well. He's not a good little boy, and sex isn't a sweetie cupboard.

Texas - any more news?

Which I take to mean that every man has within him a spirit of relentlessness and optimism. Its already there; he just has to cultivate it.
