OK...(I don't have the daughter problem tho. Ya gotta do what you gotta do!)
Damn do I know your hurt. I'm jealous (of all things) the queen of "Do you like my body?" drunken or drugged or both simple Anna Nichole Smith pinups.
I guess I should be happy mine is not the demeaning Houston 500 stuff. It is still the same passive voyeurism and non-affection. Maybe this might help.
I have come to believe that affection shown to pets is no threat to H. For they glady take whats given and ask for no more. The "pretty?" shows herself and based on the magazine or video askes for no more than she has already given, likely for her exhibitionisism or money or both, but again NOT AFFECTION. Love, cept love of money, is no where in the equasion.
You can reintroduce it by treating it like drinking or other "pathetic" adictive behavior and seeking a way to heal him. You are going to have to distance yourself from it. I threatened..."What do I have to do? Put a lifesize pix of me on the back of the bathroom door to make you happy?" I was told, "Dont be rediculous. It's got nothing to do with you." Oh how hard that is to accept.
Theat it like winning a Bingo card for OOODles of money...and ending up with a gambling adction.
