This was one of the most helpful posts I've ever read on this bb.

Plus, it was really funny. You really have a killer sense of humor, even when you are not trying to be funny.
Ok, so the kids need to be older, the marriage bulletproof and stay away while it's hot. Check check check. I will hereby pledge to wait many years before we attempt this, thanks to you.

I'm sorry your wife was a big fat crab the whole time. That certainly puts a damper on things. Say, have you read Passionate Marriage? This is a really good book and gave me the conversational skills that I needed to have, in order to talk to my husband about our sex life. NOT that I always use them, but I do know the right way LOL.
You might want to look into it. I think you are on the right track, with getting along better and being the best H you can be. You may need to kick it up a notch, is all.

Hang in there,
