Please do keep in mind that I vent worst-case stuff on here. I really did do a lot of naughty, outta-the-box talk with wife weekend before last, and really am trying to keep an open mind with her.
What do I get by holding on? It's a great question. I guess what I get is some sense of "This won't be my fault if this doesn't work out," combined with "At least my heart won't hurt THAT much again," if I don't FULLY open back up to her again??
