Okay, folks. I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that W finally picked up the SSM book!! The bad news is that she flipped it over, turned it around and put it back on the dresser, so that anybody (kids) wandering by will not be able to casually read the title.
MPT: I appreciate your words of wisdom, and am really trying hard to be that confident man that I know I can be. She does share her emotions, fears, etc. with me, but not on a daily basis. But I think she generally feels comfortable doing this, except when the subject is related to sex. She's never been one to talk at great length or in detail about sex.
CeMar: Man, I hear you!
Quote: Does your wife tell you to get out and make yourself happy?
She tells me this in terms of "I want you to find yourself spiritually and to be happy." Well, I grew up Jewish, but I don't practice anymore. I was never that into go to the synagogue and praying in a language I didn't understand. But I can feel the spirituality, and closeness with God. She is a Buddhist, although she was Episcopalian when I met her. I think, in some ways, she may be projecting her search for spirituality on me.
She definitely would be happy if the sex issue went away. Last night, after the big blow up in the morning, she was all friendly and huggy and even kissed me good night. I appreciate this effort. We'll see where it goes. I'm in a better mood today. Either because of these affectionate efforts of hers (typical HD reaction, right Cemar?), or just that this morning wasn't as ugly as yesterday.
