I see you wriggling around in those panties, so I'm going to let you keep working at them...
You know I know where you are because I'm sitting in the same damn boat (and the view sucks). However, I think you realize that the rings are just icing on the cake here?
Pamela, I know that all this stuff has been coursing through your brain. You DO have the advantage over your H: you talk about this stuff with girls (well, us) and you have a built in support network.
He's probably feeling JUST as insecure as you are. So sit back and keep your lip buttoned. Your time for chat will come, friend. From where I sit, I see that right now your actions are speaking for both of you. Right now you and your H are action oriented, and he's showing you plenty.
So put your patience hat on to remind you that you ARE winning this game. It's just taking a long time to play. Sort of like the game Risk, where lots of strategy and thought is involved--except you're not playing to win... you want both of you to win.
Give him a little time to digest things and see you in this new, more flattering light. He'll catch up sooner or later.
Until then, play nice and fair and come back here to b*tch.
Hugs.
Betsey
