I don't see a problem with a "delay" per se; the problem is, that I'd really like to see your wife NOT get what she wants here, to see if she'd still relate affectionately and respectfully towards you.

She wants to know that what she is experiencing is real. It's a safety net for her. Give her a little time and space. Be calm, strong and cool enough not to let it bother you.


Well, I did take an absolute stand against her Saturday night, I made it clear I wasn't giving her what she wanted, and the result was very positive. She was very respectful and affectionate all night.

I think she's recoiled back a little from everything, and truthfully, so have I. It was an intense night. A little voice in my head is saying "What are you doing? Do you really want to do this? Remember how bad your M was. Do you want to go back to that? Do you want to risk opening the wounds her A caused?"

She said the thing I did that really blew her away was NOT reacting and counter-attacking when she brought the suit in the first place, and I believe her. I need to sit tight for now.
