Thanks for the input, 012 (fellow Jayhawk). I agree with what you say, that mind-reading is not productive, accurate, or particularly helpful. It is just a habit, I guess. My W is a very different sort of woman, so the usual "treatment" doesn't seem to work on her.
I asked her if she wanted to ML the other night, (the first time I've come out and asked her in weeks), and she said, "no." I said, "okay, but can I ask why?" She got a bit pissed at first, but I explained that it was fine that she said no, however, I would like to know what the reason was. She said, "You can assume that whenever I say 'no' it is because I just don't feel like it."
Okay, so she hasn't felt like it since last September. Or, if she has felt like it, she's done a good job of keeping that to herself until the feeling passes.
I am always open to suggestions. I don't think the masturbating next to her after she says 'no' is a particularly good one, however. I think it's kind of insulting, and I'd like to avoid that.
But keep em' coming. I'll try the best ones.
