KEBall, did we have the same mom and sisters? I did some of the gentlemenly things too and GF at the time did not like it. She wanted more and I did not want to get trapped. The main difference between you and me is I did not start to date until I was 18 and was slow at it until I was 22. I had to support my mom and my self and had trouble adding a third person.
Back to the gentlemenly behaviors. At the time I thought that was the knoble thing to do but see how left out my dates must have felt.
KEBall I am still waiting for an answer about the snoring you mentioned over in New Comers. My snoring distanced our R. What do you think about the fact that many overweight people snore and some need a CPAP machine or to lose a lot of weight.
Yes, No, maybe so, bug off? Just passing along what helped our R to get back on track and some snorring conditions are hard on the heart and relationships too. My W loves a teddybear that does not keep her awake most of the night. Cuddling has improved 99% since we sleep in the same bed. ML not as mechanical either.
BTW, good input from a lot of women that have been in your W's shoes. Glad to see you are doing the work to save the M and your long relationship with your W. First loves are so special.
OG Lou GF was a nurse, I was a HS dropuot supporting my mom at the time. Talk about selfesteem issues. (Re: Cheerleader & geek) I went to college later 3.82 GPA. More PMA now. Working on my M too, like you.
