Driving home from the C one day I had a breakthrough. If asked how good my sex life is, my first thought was "pretty bad". But this was after 7 months of having sex twice a week. By all standards, that doesn't sound like a crappy sex life. Even according to my definition of success, this was a great number.
I realized that the only thing keeping me from *thinking* my sex life was great was my lack of security in the current sex life and the lagacy of a crappy one. All I needed to do was learn to live in the moment and say "man, for the past few months it's been great". It's really hard to recognize it and taking a break from the C was a really good thing because it allowed us to enjoy the calm waters of the comfort zone for a while.
