Jumping to your thread. You said your hubby can be very affectionate when you go to bed. Is he being affectionate or passionate. Could it be you're converting his affection to passion and therefore want more? Just a thought.

Do you think your letter has had time to soak in yet. It maybe time to lay out what you would like in a non-threating judgemental manner. I'm sure you two can come to a happy medium.

I guess you're right about facing painful things. I've faced those D papers and feel better for it. I hope you are having this talk as I type and you will come back saying all is well. But in the end, you tried. Two years from now, you won't look back and wonder what would have been if you had tried. I think he has had few days to marinade on this. Time to throw him on the grill so to speak. Say hubby, did you read my note? You did. What do you think of it? Let him express himself as best as he can. Sift through his answer. There may be a few macho lumps in there but what's left over may be just what you're looking for.

Again, I ramble. Yes, please hook me up with the recipe. Most of my Christmas specials revolve around booze based items and standard baking. I love to bake and it helps me get rid of the blues. In fact, I'm thinking of doing it now to keep my PMA up and keep my sunny side up. I was just hit with a feeling that something good has happened just now. I will report later in my thread.

Take care. Good luck.
