Thanks JV and Hopeful. I did try to initiate the kiss goodbye and that's what got me into trouble. And I knew it was probably going to happen, but I tried it anyway. Last night out of nowhere he reminded me about how he is in the morning, about how that is his best sleep time and he's going to be grouchy if I disturb him. He didn't apologize for cursing of course, but that was his way of saying he was thinking about it and he really didn't like to react that way but if I was going to come in and wreck his sleep, then that's what would happen. So, yes, timing is important. I just have trouble letting go of that morning ritual we used to have.
I can usually go over and snuggle him, but I want him to come over and snuggle me! Oh well--I guess I can't have everything exactly the way I want it.
I'm not going to say anything, but I will work on intiating more and making sure the time is right! Thanks again!
