You make me smile, you really do. Mistress Butt-Kickin One... yep, that's me alright. Got my butt kicked myself here recently... know the feeling.
I'm doing really well, thanks for asking. I posted an update here on the 'blow up.' I won't take up space repeating it here if you want to go take a look... but things are doing much better.
I'm glad to hear that you still have the counselor route in mind. That's very good.
Quote: I think its been a couple weeks since my wife last suggested that another woman would be more satisfying for me and that it would be ok with her if I had someone to help me with my "needs". I know she is sincere when she says this (she never says it in anger) and truly believes that she would be fine with it BUT I know her better than she knows herself and I know that it would screw up our relationship.
You know it would SCREW UP your relationship? As in, it's not scrwed up now?
I don't know, I guess the reason I asked is because I was goin to suggest the next time she says something like that to you, you look her in the eye and say:
"You know, it's funny you should mention that. You've suggested that before and I've started giving it a lot of thought. I think I might know someone, and if you really don't think you'd mind, I think I'm going to pursue it. It will take up a lot of my time, I'm sure, so I'm going to expect you to be understanding when I start spending more time away from home."
And then walk out of the room.
I know, that's probably not the best advice I could ever give, and I'm not saying you should actually DO that... just spend a few evenings reading at the local book store or something, but sometimes I think the unwilling partners need a little dose of their own medicine. I don't think they realize just how cruel and hurtful such 'encouragements' are, you know?
