Hi S_C, nice to cross paths again. I seem to recall you gave me some good advice about this early on.

While W does bascially live on caffeine, I don't think it is an addiction so much as a response to growing up in a (very) chaotic home: W had no rules, learned everything early, and was always very independent. My W would describe it as My Big Fat Greek Wedding with some mental illness thrown in. My family would be the stable, but fairly boring one. Honestly, W is strong and fun, and that has always been attractive. This is just the other side of that.

All I need to do is manage to keep up, and let her do her thing, with a minimum of resistance on things except the big ones that are boundaries for me. And to keep getting worn down, and stressed out. This would keep me attractive to her.
