New here, looking for help.

Sandi, I doubt the point of what you said was to make me laugh but it did. My wife was doing some facebook stuff and I decided to take a peek at DB forums. It was all I could do not to LOL at this bit "Women don't want to have sex with a teddy bear!"

I appreciate your brutal honesty. I think i needed to hear that and it's kinda resonating with some things she's been wording. Like she's curious HOW i'm saying things, rather than the content of things. See i'm a bit of pacifist, i avoid conflict like the plague. That's been a source of conflict for a while. I dont have a lot of confidence in myself. But I'm oddly feeling a lil more empowered lately and I think she's picking up on that. I told her brother to come get his crap out of our garage that's been sitting in there for years, I said it nicely of course, but I was very firm about it. "Hey, you still want these items that have been in our garage for the past few years? If you do come by saturday and pick them up. I'm trying to get this garage squared away so my wife can finally use the garage" and the whole situation mentioned above with my parents. She was all curious about HOW i said it.

I like your idea about Thanksgiving, I wish i'd thought of that sooner. Car is packed though and kids are super excited about seeing their grandparents...and grandparents are super excited about seeing the kids. Plus my wife has been real nice all night and kinda upbeat. I'm afraid of changing anything before our trip tomorrow.

We sleep in seperate rooms because i snore very loudly. I need to lose more weight (lost 35lbs so far) so my sleep apnea isn't so bad.

Anyways, good night and have a good thanksgiving all.
