Doc, Matilda, Jak, and DB Friends, My W told me recently that part of the problem in the past, was that she felt like she could never make me happy--I'm too fussy and critical. She washed my shirts this weekend, and I fortunately was smart enough to thank her for it, even though I was wondering if she did it the way I would have. It's true that I can be my own version of fussy. I'm glad she told me her thoughts/feelings.
We went shopping this weekend for a 70's outfit for our Hustle routine. We discovered a vintage shop in town. She found a disco outfit, gold belt, and earrings. I found a shiny Rayon shirt, and a gold necklace. She continues to compliment me on my commitment to practice. We're probably one of the top three couples in the group at this time.
I'm going to have to come to grips with my fear over physical intimacy. I think I'm afraid of "failure." It's such a charged issue. My fear is that if the initial encounter doesn't go well, she will take it as personal rejection. Maybe I will know when the time is right.
