Quote: One more idea I had - this is the romantic-wifey part of me talking - is what if you suggested a completely fresh start.
HH, you really are a romantic, aren't you. So am I. Much to my own detriment. Funny you should say that... in my case, W has often expressed a desire for a "fresh start" - she keeps saying how she's afraid I (I) can't let go of the past, and am always going to hold it over her. Note: I have NEVER thrown it in her face, not in ALL the arguments we've ever had. On occasion I've tried to discuss it, because I feel we have to understand our past if we're to do better going forward, but I have always been willing to "start from here" and never mention it again. Trouble is, her "fresh start" means more of the same... we just let the past go, and go on sexlessly. I guess what she wants is for me to just let her off the hook, and accept "the way she is". Not what I envision as a "fresh start".
