I got your joke, but I haven't been checking in or posting much lately... and thank you for coming to my defense! KAW, she's right: I'm not bashing anyone here. And besides, I happen to like genitalia ( ) but it's what goes along with those pesky body parts--namely testosterone.
I really like men, and am not a male basher. Ask my office full of men...
Wonder, GREAT job of stating a boundary with your H--in regards to telling him you don't appreciate his ASSumption that you lied. You did a "wonder-ful" job stating what you were feeling without attacking him.
About item 5 - do you suppose he put off talking about that subject because he really has nothing substantive to say about it? That is, he doesn't really have concrete justification with proceeding full speed ahead?
I dunno.... but he does seem to be as wishy washy as mine. "No, I don't want a divorce, but I really don't want to work at loving you again."
KAW, for the record, I've been reading your posts and wish you and CAW the best. I hope her health scare is behind you? You should be pleased to know that when people address the LBS as being women (off the BB, of course), I'm quick to point out that many men are in the same boat. We're an equal opportunity group, aren't we?
Something that Mike (Pandamoses) posted to me awhile back, and has been mulling around inside my skull of rocks for a bit: just because they haven't chosen us and being M to us doesn't mean that they are in a fog. There is a good chance that we need to CONSIDER that they have chosen, by free will, not to love us anymore.
Wonder, I can honestly say for all of us (especially you and Azure): too bad for them. You're a wise and wonderful lady. And I think the roofer will agree with me!
Go get 'em, tiger!
