I just wanted to say that I am thorougly enjoying watching you and the advice that you are giving on this forum these days. Keep it up! You have graduated from being an SSM padawan-learner to a full-fledged SSM Jedi Knight.
Keep fighting the Sith and the Dark Side!
On a news note: the wife and I had a -terrible- sessiion with the therapist yeasterday. It was essentially a two-hour slow argument with the counselor as the mediator. The discussion wasn't about anything sexual or intimacy related: it was about some of our unresolved perpetual issues surrounding our fiancial situation and money management, summer vacation trips and spending, child-centered marriage issues vs. staying couple-centered when the kids are out of school, that sort of stuff. I guess the upside is that in front of the counselor, we both did very well at keeping the Four Horseman -out- of the discussion, and stuck to our feelings and the facts.
On the upside; we -both- really felt the need to reconnect intimately (emotionally and physically) last night after the morning's drama. It was a nice, tender, make-up session.
