Here I am back to give everyone a very happy update!
I finally broke the ice yesterday, and it all went as I expected. My wife and I had a long heart to heart talk, and thanks to carefully planned wording I was understood and accepted...and she's even agreed to read the Proper Care and Feeding Book (as I said, she's a fan of Dr. Laura). She hasn't done that yet...but...let's just say things look much more hopeful.
It's amazing how just a little work can sometimes result in a great turnaround. (Well I SAID my wife was wonderful in so many ways even if the sexual aspect gets frustrating at times!!!! ) Oh, it was a long and wonderful Sunday afternoon....
Since I was coming here mostly to vent frustration, I probably won't feel the need to post here much in the future....but might just check in once in a while. But thank you all for being here to listen and thanks for your tips and encouragement.
