I was only half serious when I posted that comment but I'm glad I did now. Some insightful information...... thanx.
Ah okay, well yeah some good did come of it, it helped me refocus on my recovery also. In fact, reading back I said to myself "damn I need to take my own advice!"

Seems like there could/should be some kind of "in between". I hate feeling like a beggar or emotional slave and think some of these ideas would make me feel like that. I'm more than willing to give and even grovel sometimes but not as a regular pattern/the norm. This sure seems hard sometimes - it's such a process - and a delicate one at that. The *zone* is narrow and moves.
That's also part of the puzzle. When you feel like a beggar you act like one. She sees this and it is not attractive. In fact it is very unattractive to a woman. A good rule for you is never again will you beg, grovel, be a slave to her. The problem is when our spouse occasionally rewards that behavior, we subconsciously learn that it is a strategy for obtaining sex. Meanwhile it is actually doing more harm to our chances by making us "biologically unattractive" to our mate.[/quote]
