KD....many thanks for the questions... ultimately, I think I've felt "required" to go slow to not have her panic but I definitely see where this is keeping her at bay... it's a catch 22 that is winning, but I see my flaws in it and how I handle myself.

I'm 100% all in all the time, but I see where my holding back can come across in my wife's eyes as this week goes on. I guess making headways for me is having more positive time than reaction to these feelings. We haven't communicated this as we get started and I think it would be helpful to chat on this.

Many more thoughts are moving in my head now after these questions and they're all helping sort out some of my fears. Can't thank you enough for that. More on this later.....
