Dave,
This is so cool!
Remember a couple weeks ago when I was pestering you about the EC issue? Well, I knew that something just didn't sound right but I couldn't nail it down...

I totally didn't need to cause you are right there. You've got it exactly. I hope all goes well with you and the EC experiment. Best of luck; I know this is hard for you so this will really be an opportunity for growth.

As far as your W goes, I thought of one more thing that you might want to consider. She knows now that the schedule is a thing of the past (and I'm sure you're both glad!) but I was wondering if there is a need to put anything in its place? That is, are you going to be disappointed when nothing happens? If so, then why wait for that moment to force the PM talk and just get it out in the open now?

Something like: "I am hopeful that, without the schedule, we can strive for a couple nights a week like last Thurs, where it was mutually initiated and mutually enjoyed. What are your thoughts about what you would like to strive for?"

I think that having SOME kind of goal is a good idea, even if it is not written in stone and 'rigid'. Here's why: My H would have felt majorly set up if I had said Let's ditch the schedule but assumed that he would replace it with something enjoyable without explicitly stating what that was. I don't know if your W is this way or not; I am just tellin ya what would have happened in my home.
Of course, there is no way I could sustain an EC in the absence of sex. A week...sure. Any longer than that and I just can't do it. I don't feel connected, I am NOT connected after all, so why should I force it or try to strive for that?
I don't look at his form of EC and put 'rules' on it as far as what he should or should not be feeling and I will not do that to myself either. I will be reasonable of course, but there will come a time that he will end up with a disconnected and not-so-nice wife if he chooses to reject sex with me for a long period of time.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that you sound so awesome lately and I want to extend my best congrats to you.

Honey
