You have been makeing some progress on your R, you rotten dog, you, and still complaining!! Dude, there is some light in the tunnel even if you cannot see the end or predict the outcome of the Sitch. Patience is hard right now because we both want to be swept off our feet by our Spouses that finally realize what is going on with us. You have a chance for things to turn around, but you must try to be patient.
There is nothing wrong with wanted to be loved, cherished, adored and courted by our mates. They just can't, won't, don't know how, but I don't think it is because they just don't give a d*mn. Something is stopping them dead in their tracks. Wish I knew how to fix this problem but no answers for me, either.
It is demoralizing that your mate can't crave you like you do them. But you know who and what you are. Somedays I have all of the self confidence in the world, and other days I have none becasue of all of this crap. But I know in the long run that whatever happens with me, I will be stronger and more in control of my own spirit than I am right now. It is hard to find the strength each day, but I do and you can, too.
Remember, there is this party on the beach that we are expecting. Clambake theme? Just a suggestion....
