Journey,
That's and interesting insight. I'm going to accept her behavior as a "challenge" instead. What a riot!!! I can see it now....

M: (in my best Isaac Hays voice) "Come on baby, wake up...I want to take you upstairs and make sweet love to you"
W: "But I'm asleep"
M: "Yah baby, that's what they all say"
W: "No, really...I just want to go to sleep"
M: "oh ya baby...that's fine...you don't need to be awake to get started, but I bet you'll wake up when *I* get started"
W: "get that thing away from me you freak!"


SD, I know what you are saying. I have found an ironic parallel to when I started mountain biking (again) 5 years ago. The first time I fell, I laid on the ground for a bout 5 minutes and had to do a "full system check" before I got back up. Now, after flying over the handlebars countless times, I can spring back up instantly and get back on and ride despite bloody wounds etc. I've simply developed the ability to turn a crash, which used to spoil a ride, into a "blip". I'm finding that I'm developing the ability to "release" my negative energy much quicker now and recover. Last night was a perfect example of that. When I got in bed with her and we started fooling around, I then realized what today would have been like had I stayed in my office, pissed off and gone to bed with my back turned to her. I wanted to have good feelings for her. This morning, I woke up lovin' her and we had a nice, humorous chit-chat.

So while the mind-game, missed signal thing can seemingly "spoil" an evening, it might help to learn to get over it quickly. My first instinct last night was to go into the bedroom and simply hug her till relaxed but she initiated the passionate kissing. It makes me think that Journey might be 100% correct that my W was actually "in the mood" for real.
