It's automatic when you feel it

Hi, Cinco. How goes the MC? H has read SSM & is halfway thru SSW. Says he learned much more from SSM than TNMS. But he wouldn't have read it last year. I think there's a time during efforts to resolve marriage issues when H or W is receptive to and benefits from a particular book. No way to know when that'll be, but, you know, you first have to hit the mule in the head with a board. "Now that I have your attention......"
Ya gotta start someplace.

We're starting MC, have 2 appts set in early Sept. Actually for sex counseling. I hope he can open up or learn about his feelings about sex in general, intimacy and communication. I guess if I had the guts to run 2 marathons & face down an angry drunk with a gun (didn't get shot) I can handle MC. I sure hope so. Finding out what he really thinks could be shattering. Finding out what I can do better, a relief.

He's also made an appt w/urologist our fam. Dr. recommended. Yep, called himself. Invited me to come along if I want to. (What's a good plan here, guys? Should I go or not?).

I want counseling to work for him so he can enjoy his life, not drift along, hibernating with the TV. Be more open not just with me, but his brother, cousins, acquaintances who could become friends given the chance. Trust people not to betray, disappoint or abandon him. A huge leap for him. I hope he can make it.

Thanks, everyone, for being here this past year. I know my postings have been awful some of the time.
