Kalni,

I know what you mean by

"H cannot be guided thru me to even try some improved communication method, he resists anything that comes from me. At least his first reaction is refusal."
But in reality I don't want my wife to just go through the motions either; I feel that if she does not do it on her own then it is not something she wants.
As for him yelling at your D....
I have the opposite sitch here... Wife and son get into arguments and if I try to get in and help her I turn into the bad guy, so even though it makes me feel like I am NOT co parenting...I try to just stay out of it. Of course if she asked me to help I would.
"I am planning on starting having a massage every 2 weeks. Never done that and I need it."I could not even imagine getting a massage right now. I have been without intimacy for so long I would be afraid of what might arise if I got a massage...Woman or man blush
I have started a "self centering" exercise though 30 min of just doing nothing but relaxation listening to a tape.
Shrimp spaghetti? Never heard of it but it does sound good. Next time let me know so I can stop by for a taste

Doc


And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
