Well, NOP, I was not full of baloney. I lived what I told you yesterday--kept an emotional connection to him, despite no ML, dammit!
Here's why: At one point in the evening, I was reading a book. He came up to me and sat next to me and proceeded to give me tons of kisses (pecks). I was delighted! Then he starts caressing my breasts and boy did this shock me. Our kids were sitting right next to us and this is NOT my H's m.o. if the kiddies are around. He did this for about 5 minutes. He never let on if it was arousing him or not (and with an LD man, kissing + breaststroking is no guarantee of anything) but he was making an attempt to show his love in a way that would really make an impact with me and for that I am grateful.
I was joking with him later that all he could think about was "has this been long enough, so I can go down in the basement and work on running some electric?" and he laughed and said that he did start to feel like that but not til the end.
It did not translate into him wanting sex that night but that is no surprise. I think I could have gotten him in the mood but wasn't in the mood to play that game. All in all, it was good and I would chalk it up as #2 and 3 on my list...affection and QT. Which leads me to wonder if he's been reading this board?!
So that is the update on me...still no lovin this week but I'm doing okay.
