And people DO avoid sex when they are dating at first.. that's NOT the first thing that happens (usually, and I would argue its healthier for the R if the sex is kept under control, its a good test of their maturity... if they run right into bed, they don't have a lot of self control and the relationsihp isn't likley to last long term).
I had to smile to myself when I read this Allen. It makes me sound ' a right floozy' as we would say over here, as my H and I got together on our first real date. On your scale we shouldn't rightly still be together I guess - lol
I have come to the conclusion that it was largely due to me having had quite a bit of therapy and having already gone through much introspection, when I discovered about my H's A, that H and I were able to recover so quickly. We had a team of sorts, of professionals, already set up to help when the BIG crisis hit. They helped me hit hard and fast at my H. I also think my H's A was coming to a natural end.
However, the physical side of things was also a huge help in the healing process.
Thank you for your answer to my question. It really helps to see what others experiences are.
