I think your best course of action right now would be changing your social setting. Local watering holes like Cheers where everyone knows everyone and is drinking and hanging out may not be the best setting for the way your wife behaves and for your stage in piecing. You want to hang out with friends? Invite a nice couple over to your house for dinner and drinks. Want to see live music? Go to a place where you don't know anyone, that has a cozier appeal where it could be the two of you in a booth (just an example) enjoying the music.

Its interesting you should say that, Ginger... The absolute best night we have had, prolly since this whole thing began, was a week ago last Friday when we went to a very small local club we had never been to before but which is known for its good music. We didn't know a soul, but we did sit in a little booth, kind of near the back, had our arms around each other, held hands, looked into each others' eyes, made out a little.. didn't talk to another soul except for the bartendress/waitress (same person.) Alot of older couples there, too. Average age was probably mid-40s, but there were a few youngsters an also a handful of mid-60's or so, as well as one couple who might have been mid to late 70s but were dancing up a storm. A LOT of dancing there, some good dancers, mostly swing dancing, which is something i want to do with her. She is a GREAT natural dancer but i am not... and it is something that i was always a little intimidated about, but now i am REALLY eager for us to do that. She actually came home today with a list of some of better places to get instruction and get an introduction to it from a woman who is one of the regular patients at her clinic (Actually the same woman who gave her the name of this same bar we went to.) At any rate, it was a really, really nice night.
