Last weekend while out with our dance friends, a round of drinks were ordered. The idea was to drink them quickly and then kiss your partner. My W looked annoyed. Our friend asked her why she wasn't kissing me. I probably looked embarrassed. I felt like a terrible secret had been exposed. My W then proceeded to launch her tongue down my throat, in full view of our friends.

I'm going to read the book, in spite of the one objection, but agree it must translate into action, not more introspection. There may be some useful guidance in there.

My W has been cooking me breakfast (eggs, oatmeal, orange juice) and dinner (meatloaf, homemade salad dressing). I encourage her new interest in cooking. The breakfasts have cheered up my mornings. The dinners have a calming and bonding effect, that I don't get in restaurants. We remodeled our kitchen years ago, but have failed to enjoy it together. She used to want to dine out several times per week, but lately has been wanting to cook at home.

I've taken all the confrontations and advice and have decided to start a new thread and title. The title represents the ideal I am striving for, passionate masculinity in my own style.
