"Despite the lack of a schedule, I will still have to deal with hard feelings...it's just that I'm no longer going to subject you to it...I'll just go ride my bike."
This is the answer to Mojo's post about creating a better "two choice dilemma" than "have sex or deal with my crabbiness". I can't believe how clear this is to me now. In a couple months, I could see my W coming back to me and saying something identical to the convo we had before but this time she will say "I feel like I have no choice...that either I have sex with you or else deal with the fact that you are never around". The crucible will never go away for her. My "new" initiative isn't about letting out of the crucible...it's about putting myself into one too.
