HD,
I do say that. Always. Otherwise he'll fall asleep and stop. LOL (or cry out loud, take your pick)

He needs me to say, Let's ML, or I want you or just grabbing it. He needs ME to make the definitive move, while he sits back and takes credit for always initiating! I want to be the one who hears him say that he wants me, or that he wants to ML.

If I weren't so stubborn I would say, Hey you know what he's trying to do so just go with it. And that's what I did for years.

Now I am at the place where the anger is not fueling my horniness to the extent that it did, and so now I'd like to replace that with some good old fashioned desire from him. What he does now simply does not turn me on.

I feel terrible writing that.

When he does make an effort I am sure to recognize it (sometimes not as much as I should) but I would like to slowly start working towards the point where these signs are more frequent and less vague.

He used to be more forward but he felt as if he had to "win me back". Now that he's got me he's getting complacent again. Last week he said he holds himself back--and it certainly appears that he does--but he rescinded that comment a couple hours later so who knows!
