No, Canadian. We like to throw an extra "u" into certain words too.
Well, the Canadian falls under the "or something" part. (O.K., so I'm being too hung up on being right. At least I'm doing with you and not with W!)
Well, things went even better with my parents than with W's. Her mother behaved herself. My parents were actually supportive, although they did find the humor in the situation. My Dad finally said, "Well, if anyone is going to be parents this much later than the other kids, I can't think of any better people." So, that's nice to hear.
Kaffe - point well taken. I am just encouraged that I am no longer feeling resistance or rejection from W. But you are right, she hasn't really overtly expressed any intent to work on our M. On the other hand, the other night, there was more to it than "wanting to get laid." That was what made such an impression on me. She was affectionate, close, wrapped her arms around me, etc. In short, it was more than just a basic bang (that IS too vulgar :D). To me, it meant greater progress than we have had in some time.
So, I have been trying to recognize W's need for additional support - she has had a bad cold lately, on top of morning sickness, so I have a chance to show her the kind of support I can provide for her when the pg is more adanced, and then the baby comes and a lot of her time gets taken up for "breast availability." And I am also continuing to give her space, which I am convinced is another one of the things that was hurting our M. I'm afraid I have a tendency to get very clingy, especially when I feel insecure in a relationship. And everybody here knows how that circle goes.
So, right now I think we are in kind of a holding pattern - I sort of think W is watching this step in the changes, to see if I will keep it up, before moving any further forward. Just a little bit at a time. It's kind of like sitting in a traffic jam - have to keep watching, and move forward quickly if traffic moves, but the rest of the time you just sit and wait, and try not to get too comfortable. Then again, little by little, traffic is lightening up.
Will type at you later. TTFN
Think about it...if you met a potential mate who was nothing but a bundle of needs, would YOU be attracted to them?
