EXPERIMENTING with physical touch with W

[SM34]

I think I am ready to schedule my second coaching session with Laurie. Will probably set it up for day after tomorrow.

My findings are that W did not display any discomfort nor did I sense any pull back in the days following touch. I was able to sit next to her on the couch, touch her, touch her hair. All things that Laurie asked me to try.

One interesting thing happened that i will need to tell Laurie about. I have a bad back from a car accident 15 years ago. For christmas, my W bought me a neck massager and said it was to "replace" her so I can give myself massages after she is gone.

Last night I mentioned my back was hurting again. I have said this several times since BD and gotten no response, or at the most a suggestion to take some Ibprofen.

Yesterday for the first time, my W said lay down and I will rub your back for you. I laid down and she rubbed my back for probably 20 minutes. This is the most touch that she has initiated since BD!!

I will take that as a baby step and report to Laurie.

Tickets arrived for Saturday night show. Its Theresa Caputo the long island medium. Wife was surprised that I actually took the time to set this up for us. She is very excited. She said I'm going to call my mom and see if she can keep D3 for the night and then when i told her I already set that up too, she was extra surprised! She said thank you so much for taking care of all the plans for a great evening. She always told me i wish you would show initiative, I wish you would just plan something for us without asking me my opinion on everything. So here we are...
