Ioavva,

I'd like to chime in on UD's timeline of his sitch with a story about my parents. My father remarried to my stepmother (Mom) when I was aged 3 and they got divorced when I was 11. During that time, the relations between them were very frosty and only contact was about me [holidays, family time...etc.]. Things got gradually warmer between them over 2 years until one night Mom just called Dad and asked for sex outright! Dad said that after that incident, they started talking more and more. They eventually got back together for several years. Unfortunately, they finally split for good when I was about 34 after I graduated from grad school. The main reason for the final split was because of MOTS behaviors on their ends.
