Mike, I've done a lot of thinking about this... Aside from these few slip ups (mid-March, and Tuesday night), I think I was doing ok. I am busy. I am doing things to improve upon myself. I am pleasant in his presence, and look nice. You pretty much summed it all up...

"...to me this is wonderful and the way it should be..you are married..the M is just missing the intimacy part right?? Ya need to show him the MB that he saw when you first met..she's in there somewhere..she just got all caught up being a mother and parent..."

It's that intimacy part that hurts to the core. I just need to learn to NOT bring it up. He is/was truly enjoying himself at home, AND covering for his time to be here more.

I wouldn't say I was detached. I would say I was following a path of forward progress, and that's why the emotions take over.

I'm determined, AGAIN, to back off, do my thing, etc...

Thanks for stepping back in.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
