Just following your story. Your wife ML with you and you're pretty sure she enjoys it and wants to. That's surely a good thing? I'm surprised at what she says about kissing, though. You've certainly come a long way from things as they were at the start. I hope you two can piece things together. She sounds to me like one very confused person. the DB book says not to set too much score by what's said by the "unloving" spouse, personally I'm clinging to that and watching the actions. If she felt no attraction at all for you and given that she's been wont to tell you in clear terms what she's feeling (at the minute), would she have been a willing partner?


Wants to or wants to...?? She's willing, but not initiating. Wants to because she wants to make me happy, wants me happy so I stay. Complicated as can be. One confused puppy. Sometimes I feel like a lawyer, parsing everything too much instead of just living in the moment and not worrying about everything. But then I remember (pre-Bomb) how I ended up ignoring so much going on around me with my W.

Someone here said that he went home with intentions to "make" someone happy and then realized that he had a different desire.

And THAT made that someone else happy.

What can be learned from this wise story?

Hmm. There's a Retro weekend in Madison that would tie into a holiday trip perfectly. It's three months away though.

hard to think, type on the phone, drink beer and play pool without looking suspicious to others like you are not giving them enough attention.

Take 2

You said that you always wanted to make your W happy but you really did not k ow why or if there was even a need.

You went home for lunch and saw her miserable. You instinct was to somehow make her happy. But as you said you asked about her day instead.

That made her happy and you did not do it for that sole purpose.

End of scene.

Now, you said that she wants to make YOU happy and she's trying.

Help her!

Last night when we were reading in bed, I told her how much I appreciated her encouragement with my writing. She said that she had been trying to encourage me for years; I said I know, and I really appreciate it now.

Bravo.

Now how are you going to fix the Sandwich issue?

Ok I'm almost falling off my chair... leading through the PMS episode and this too!? Way to connect! I hope you give yourself a pat on the back for all the positive changes you're making. Now if you'll excuse me, it's Thanksgiving here and I've gone a whole 4 hours without any turkey. Serious gravy deprivation setting in. Way to go again, Pinhead! smile


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.

Mmm.. Turkey. We cooked a turkey breast last week. It was cheaper than chicken! We told our daughters it was chicken, but kept slipping up and saying Turkey. So they started calling it turkey-chicken.

I might have to see about picking some more up.

The sandwich issue doesn't seem to be the problem. Now I'm on the Smooching issue. A much tougher target.

Man, when I was 18, I never in a million years thought it'd be easier to ML with a woman then to have her kiss me. Not in a gazillion years.
