Lillie,
I think I just need to read the darn book, lol.

What bothers me the most about this dynamic with MrHP is not that he continues to "poke" this button, although that does bother me, but rather that I've asked him to do something, he has wholeheartedly agreed to do it and then he just....doesn't. His reason as to why he doesn't is "laziness".

To be so attractive sexually that a deeply religious, ex-Marine cannot resist you-- that's powerful.




That would indeed be powerful. I'll let you know if I ever fully experience this.

So here is a final question for you:

Why would I WANT to get to the point where I was okay with the fact that my husband was unresponsive to me?

I am following everything you say but I don't think I'm really 'getting it', kwim.
