too late, bug! i just sent him the email. he's working at his office so i know he'll see it tonight. here it is:
"you asked me what i need. i thought long and hard and came up with 35 things. however, that might be a little overwhelming for anyone to read. so, i'm only telling you what i put as number one and what i would have to have from a husband. i wouldn't have to have it from a friend or a lover because they wouldn't mean that much to me. but from a husband, i consider it essential.
1. I need a man to feel that our relationship is the most important relationship in his life.
i think the other 34 things flow from this. i would like you to tell me what this would mean to you.
thank you, SS"
so, it's out there. and you're right, bug. if this bothers him then it won't work. i know because we've tried it without this and it didn't. and now, i can't go back. i've learned to love myself too much (from all of you and your great wisdom)!
