HP,

I know you are getting it right now.

My wife and I have had MANY conversations where she says that she wants to make love to a MAN not a TEENAGER. She wants me to initiate like a MAN.

The only problem with this is that she is practically bi-polar when it comes to what she WANTS and what she SAYS she wants.

I have been "confident" in the past and met with a 50/50 result. Half the time she loves it / the other half I get an a$$ chewing for being such a manipulative - pushy - jerk.

I think I have a lot of resentment over the fact that she "trained" me to NOT initiate and now she's upset that I don't initiate manly enough...

So, let's see 15+ years of someone getting pissed at you everytime you bothered them... so that it got to the point where you're whimpering..."excuse me... could I bother you for a tiny bit of nookie...no, oh...I'm sorry...please go back to reading your book...I won't bother you again..."

Then: BAMM - they ask you "why, don't you initiate like a real MAN...?" and get mad at you when you don't do it "just right"

I'm just waiting to see what happens when I develop ED 10 years from now and can't even get it up... I'll be saying "hey, you had your chance and you blew it..."

sorry... venting a little...
