Quote: I'm willing to entertain just about everything. I don't want to hear the ones that have to do with sex either! Having sex with a weirdo is not an option for me.
Darn, and I was just going to suggest appearing at his appartment in a skimpy silk nightshirt under a fur coat. I guess that one is out.
My suggestions? Apart from the "showing vulnerablities" thing I just wondered if you two still know what it is you are fighting for? I mean, when was the last time you went out on a "couple" date, seen a movie, just spent some time in each other's company for fun? If it's been a while, my suggestion is try that. Let him know it's R-talk free zone, and simply enjoyment time. Dump the kids on an adoring babysitter and go out on the town. (Unless of course he wants to cook dinner for the two of you in his appartment, which is fine. ::very evil grin::)
I'm thinking along the lines of showing the donkey a carrot, as well as taking a pulse of where the two of you are in terms of couple chemistry. It might ease his tension and speed his ability to jump back in the water. It's so easy to lose sight of the goal in the middle of a struggle.
