Hi, Tim (always wondered what the 47 meant)

I also found you to be an inspiration when I first read your posts about a year ago. And speaking of "alums" I understand SuprDave is still having Friday night delight, and so the schedule can work.

On Sunday the 29th my W and I made love. After that, I decided that I would stop MB, and I LOVE MB. I figured that if I were to abstain, I would be more likely to focus my attention on my W. And it worked. Within a week, we had another encounter. It's not a schedule, but I am not letting her wriggle off the hook so easily. I'm there physically expressing my desire every chance I get.

I've spent 17 years with my W, not 27, but I'm optimistic enough to believe that change can occur whenever it is wanted. And your W shows all the signs of wanting to change. My W once said to me, "You don't know how to treat me." I was hurt, but she was right. I think that your W, like mine, is much more likely to give a slight hint that she may be in the mood, than to come right out and ask for nookie. And that's OK, at least in my book.
