I think you should do something extra nice for him to show your appreciation. Something special he would really like. Be sure to give him lots of praise (if that's the right word sounds a bit patronising but you know what I mean) for doing this. It must be quite hard for him and it sounds like he is doing it for you, which is really sweet of him. Hey I hope this is going to have a happy ending. You can go in the success stories section if it does!




I told him several times last night what a good guy he is/how proud I was of him.

I'd been under the impression we were going to go north to FIL's for the weekend, but H says no, we'll stay home and work around here.

I'm glad the C was someone we both warmed up to quickly. When we returned home, H called and made arrangements to use his two free sessions, so we now have 4 sessions in which to work on the issue and hopefully resolve some things. At the end of the 4, then we and the C will discuss where we go from there.

I think Saturday I'll make him a special dinner. I'd do it tonight but he's having some surgery tomorrow and I know he's a bit apprehensive, so today is out and tomorrow he won't feel like it.

C told H that during the coming week he has to initiate once, and it has to be at least an hour before -- that jumping right into bed is not sexy. The C looked at me and I said, "Anticipation is sexy." By the look and response from the C,one would have thought I'd discovered the Holy Grail. C was very pleased with the answer and gestures to my H "See, she knows."

That's all the positive stuff. The negative is that there are voices in my head telling me to get a voodoo doll of 1stEx and stick pins in it.
