Hi Dave, I guess I'm with Aquarian when she says that at first she'd be suspicious that all this extra stuff was just a means to get sex. I mean, I mention how bogged down I am to my H, then he will do an extra couple of things, (like maybe sweep the floor or dishes), and then he's in the bed with the pretense of just snuggling...then my clothes are becoming pushed around..you get the pic. Then I'm the bad guy for "never wanting to, and after all, he did ALL THIS EXTRA STUFF"...
How long?? Geez, I'm not sure. I'd like to say that I'd come around relatively quickly. As the LD in our relationship, I guess there is more to our situation than just whether or not H helps around the house. I would think a month or two of sincere, no-strings-attached would do it for me.
