Z-bube,

Too true. In one of my many convos with H I said that I really wanted our M to be a respite from the world and that I saw ML as part of that. I don't think he ever responded to that sentiment. He can only seem to get his mind wrapped around the idea of sex if everything is hunky dory, we are on vacation or if things are mildly crazy in our life and I make a big deal of seducing him.

I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that I sometimes feel like the man in the R. I bring him flowers sometimes, or favorite treats (candy he likes or something) or send a little card or e-card. Sometimes I get a thank you sometimes no response at all. OTOH - I would leave the dishes halfway done just to run upstairs for a quickie. I would still come back and do them because I like my house clean but I really do believe in taking advantages of opportunities when they are presented.

Ladies - anyone else ever donned the naughty negligee and had your H just snuggle up to sleep? I have. I have a bunch of lovely lingerie and I NEVER wear it. H seems to respond better to just plain skin but also I can't bear the rejection of putting it on for nothing.
