That's good: libido in hibernation. It certainly describes me these days. I haven't worn my wedding ring in so long that the indentation on my finger has almost disappeared. I've been very low key with W.
So guess what? Now all of a sudden she wants to sleep with me (?!?!?!?!?!?!) For the last two nights the kids dutifully marched into their own bed and W and I stayed up, one night to clean the house one night to talk. Then we went to sleep. Was it HP whose half just wanted to go back to sleep? Well that's the way it's been with me. I wake up and see that W hasn't abandoned me. This comforts me and I go back to sleep. I've been sleeping really well!!
I'm not mean or cold to W during the day; in fact I occasionally hug her and she still gives me dirty looks. But I've spent more time with here one-to-one in the last week than in the previous three months. We even went to the beach, something I didn't think we'd ever do.
This weekend is our anniversary (9/11). It looks like dinner downtown and then I guess walking around. It's a great city and we don't get downtown much, especially for sightseeing just the two of us.
I'll tell you this, there is an element of us hardly knowing each other anymore. It's hard to get away from talking about the day-to-day struggles and chores. I keep hoping she has dreams beyond owning a four-bedroom house.
