Thanks WDID. I did ask her, Sat night, and she couldn't/wouldn't open up to me.

But the weekend was VERY GOOD. I'd almost say GREAT.

Friday night we went out to dinner. Had a nice time and it was a nice evening out so we went for a drive after dinner. Held hands the whole time. At one point, W sneezed and we didn't have any tissues/napkins in the car so she said, "I guess you won't want to hold my hand after that", and I replied, "you're probably right". So a minute later she went digging in her purse and found a bottle of hand sanitizer and she said "woohoo" while showing me the bottle. So we got to hold hands the rest of the trip. Got home and spent a quiet evening at home. Went to bed and snuggled before falling asleep.

Saturday was a great day. We went for a drive around Amish country and stopped at a couple of our favorite Winery's. At the first one there was a duo playing some acoustic music and one of the songs said something about wedding rings and I looked at W and said "yeah, wedding rings would be nice" and she said "I know. I just don't know if they'll fit". She's lost probably 30 pounds since this all started and she last wore her rings. So I said, "I'll gladly pay to have them resized" and she said "ok, I'll try them on and if we need to resize them we will".

After a couple of samples of wine we went for a drive (no I wasn't drunk, I was on call for work) which ended up taking us all over SE Ohio. Got home around 9:30. W was holding my hand and grabbing my arm and pulling me in for kisses A LOT on the drive.

When we got home she went out on the deck to smoke and I walked outside and grabbed her by the face with one hand and put my other on the back of her head and gave her a passionate kiss. She didn't want me to stop, but I just broke the kiss and went back inside.

When she came in I met her at the door, pulled her inside and gently pushed her up against the wall and proceeded to give her a long passionate kiss. I said, "I'm going to bed, would you like to join me"? And she bout ran upstairs.

We had probably the most passionate, romantic, activity filled night in bed that I can ever remember. I'm sure there've been others like it, but man o man.....

So when we were laying there in the after glow I said to W "I love you" and she looked at me and said "I know you do". I saw this as my opening to talk about what's holding her back, so I said "W, I know you love me, but something's holding you back. Whatever it is, talk to me". And she just looked at me. I said "Look, everything is there. You talk about our future, just on our drive this evening you told me that me and the boys were the most important thing in the world to you, but there's something holding you back and even though I know you love me, I need to hear it". W replied "I know you do, and I know it's getting old, but...." and then she just closed her eyes and shook her head.

So I said "Ok, I'm not going to pressure you, but it's wearing on me and I hope you'll open up to me soon".

So we snuggled and went to sleep.

Sunday was another good day. We went shopping and did some stuff around the house.

So I know, right? Quit complaining.....but WHY CAN'T SHE OPEN UP AND TELL ME SHE LOVES ME?
