H came through last nite despite there being little sexual energy between us for the last few days. I'm impressed by his commitment to this whole process; he pushed through his feelings to initiate and bring the heat, and my body responded. We didn't do the kinky thing I suggested, but he did make reference to it, and said maybe another time, with no judgment in his voice.

The whole thing had the feeling of making a date to go to the amusement park, both of us not really feeling up for it but knowing we should anyway. Instead of standing me up, H showed up; we went on our favorite, familiar ride, bypassed the new ride I wanted to go on, but pointed it out. And, we made a date ( for Sat) to do it again.
