Greeneyedlass: first, about the gas issue, your advice coincides with the advice I found on a site dealing with men's health. Drugstore trip clearly indicated! Hopefully this won't be an issue for long.

Second, I'm going to try to express my feelings to my wife in the manner I suggested and you enthusiastically concurred with. And not "next week," either. Preferably tonight.

Sounds like the advice you've been giving me boils down to "Stop being such a wuss and tell her how you feel." Which I know I need to do, but it's not easy. As you know.
