Arj, If the clothes were working for ya, stick with those for the time being. You can always up the ante later on. Or maybe just she can shed the jammies while you stay clothed. That way she doesn't have to worry. Or maybe you both just drop trou and enjoy the skin!
Have you gone to the doctor about the snoring? Get thee to a doctor! If she mentions that she wants to sleep with you, then be proactive and show her that you are heeding her wishes and desires.
Oh and what did you do while laying on the bed? Can you massage her, under her jammies? That way, you get a little skin contact going but not enough to freak her out. Unless that would freak her out. If that's the case, then ignore me until about a month into the process and try it then!
