Bagheera - I hope you two can find your way back to that "gray area" of everlap again. I echo what Lucky says about you being a beacon of hope for us here. You are so strong and have taken the right road to find a way to make your marriage work. I know the struggle to get the passion in your marriage that you desire all too well. I have asked myself that same question:
It it fair for me to ask this of her? I won't change so why should she?
There must be some way to build a bridge across this chasm between our desire where we meet in the middle and in an embrace, just love one another as we are.
I know of no one here more capable of weaving that rope bridge joining the two sides than you Bagheera.
