Dang I can't help but think you sound A LOT like me, I was even born in 67'. I think it's great that he's picked up the book and is reading it...but keep in mind, don't get tooo pushy about it; which is kinda tempting right now, especially if he sets the book down and leaves it for a few days Remember YOU cannot make him read it, the book will have much more of an impact if he does it at his own pace from his own free will.
I have NO doubt you are completely aware of these things, you seem to be a really sharp lady (did I say you remind me a bunch of me? LOL)...just sometimes helps for others to reinforce these things at times.
I have to share this little story...I think you'll enjoy it (along with my other friends here). Last week my H and I were reading through a horoscope book that I had bought, it was part of a set...the book I was really after was on dream interpretation, this was the mate to that book.
Anyway...naturally I read my H's zodiac sign with all of the traits etc that go along with them...what's good about Gemini's, what's not so hot....same thing with my sign and our S's.
What was particularly funny, when reading my sign (Virgo) was there was a phrase in it that stated "Virgos often feel they spend the majority of their time running around cleaning up after Leos & Gemini's (my S & H's signs)....I just about fell out of bed laughing, because that is sooooooo my life right now. Actually it was very interesting (if you believe in this stuff, I only partially do) that the only other two signs mentioned along with mine (under my sign) were Leo's & Gemini's....the two main men in my life.
One of those things that make ya go hmmmmmmmmm.
Well maybe that wasn't as interesting as I once thought!
Buuuuut! This book ended up being an excellent tool for getting a really good conversation going between my H and I on specific things about us. We compared whether or not the traits mentioned under our signs really applied to us or not, and if so how....with both of us saying, well yes it does or no it doesn't...about the other person. It's was a great conversation....my H wants me to dogear some of the pages and take it with us to our C session.
Anyway....You're doing great, keep up the good work, it will payoff!
