Thank you for your very kind post. I guess this morning, after packing, going to the cottage, and coming home late last night, I was too tired to hold on.
We've been doing much better over the past week or so of diffusing things, and keeping up the small EC that we've got, I've been able to keep a positive spin on things, which is easy, since with just about everyone else, I am a very upbeat person, and H is starting to notice that he can't get me upset in the same way.
H is more reseptive to hugs, and very often will give me a kiss in the morning. It's still about the same as he would give to our ds, but it's an improvement. I don't want to push too much for more, untill the EC seems strong. Unfortunately for 'us', I'll be out of town for a few days this week, so there won't be much time to be together. I am looking forward to it as a break, though, I'll get a little time alone to think.
There are just times that I really wish he would initiate the hug - and be the strong one - and I would die for a passionate kiss, not to mention more...
Sometimes it's difficult to read the posts here asking specific questions about sex...as I've let myself be sexual again, the absence of sex hurts more...I know it should be more motivation.
