Right. I know that now. W has talked at length about her concerns about DD7. Does she fit in? Will she do well academically, etc. All the while, she was talking about herself. Call me clueless. I thought it was all about closet space.
LOL...it's rarely ever about something like closet space, that's just a symptom of another problem Getting them to talk about what's really stressing them out...well that's a whole different box of moth-balls.
This is all tough on the kids. I believe they'd be much better off if both parents would agree: You sleep here, we sleep here, end of story. You should hear how W whines, "I wanna sleep with my baby! Why can't I sleep with my baby?!"
On an unrelated topic, I want to chime in on the fact that many of us have more than SEX-starved marriages. If my W were to hug and kiss me, but not ML, I'd still be confused, but I'd probably be happier than I am now with her. The "LD" spouse often denies his/her partner of so much more than sex. We have AFFECTION-starved marriages.
And I just read over on the Closet-Space=Starved-Marriage-Board that there's this woman over there named "MandKsmom" who just said, "I don't just have a closet space problem. I have a SHOE STORAGE problem! And he just doesn't understand!"
I actually had a very erotic dream last night, about KISSING my wife. Nothing else, no LM, no oral, not even naked . . . just erotic KISSING, together in our bed.
Getting them to talk about what's really stressing them out...well that's a whole different box of moth-balls.
