Thanks Diane, yes I will keep resting. Today I'm feeling much better, I've only taken a couple of pain pills so far. Not much swelling at all and only one bruise about the size of a quarter on one side. Like CB says though I won't be running out and playing a round of golf or raking leaves or anything.
I know that sometimes her mood is the result of my mood. If I am mad or frustrated about something, of course it does nothing to lift her mood. I am very rarely mad at her directly though, it is almost always something outside of ourselves. If we however go for an extended period without intimacy my frustration is with her.
More often I am my normal happy self and her mood sinks for any number of reasons. You name it and it has probably been something that has affected her.
I do know that if I am too touchy, it feels smothering to her. There have been times when I have done the slow warm up throughout the day and it has worked sometimes as well. Find her, give her a kiss, tell her "I thought you needed a kiss", and then go about my business again.
Diane, I'm so sorry that you are still waiting for a letter from him. It has to be so difficult, your being apart for so long. I hope that a lap top PC will encourage him to write you.
