OK, reading Step 5, particularly the LRT. Found out that LRT is appropriate for us, because

"You and your spouse still live together but have very little to do with each other. You may be sleeping in separate rooms (no), have virtually no communication (yes), and little or no sexual contact (yes)."

So, reading "Step 3" of LRT, I realize that I kind of botched it up when W asked me about my asking for what I wanted. I shouldn't have mentioned the book, should just have said I was doing things differently.

Well, I will steer clear of the subject. I don't bring the book into the house, because I don't want to draw attention to the fact that I am doing this. I just want to make the changes I need to make.


Think about it...if you met a potential mate who was nothing but a bundle of needs, would YOU be attracted to them?
