Chrissy... Just a thought for you--- You have mentioned several times the your H initiates sex with you at the most inconsiderate times. And I think he is doing this not to be insensitive or malicious, but because he senses your rejection and it makes him nutz. I know for myself I experienced my highest sex drive when my H was in rejecting mode...it made me needy and hypersexual ( not in a good way). Our MC explained what was going on( the rejecting making me crazy) and said that this is very common. So I am thinking that when you aren't feeling so well and are sending those " don't touch me" vibes, perhaps you can give him some extra hugs of reassurance.
As far as your D's b-day gift...wow, I just can't relate to a mom giving her daughter lingerie. In many areas of sexual maturity I was left on my own...it's like my mom refused to deal with me growing up. Bras, tampons, shaving legs...all figured out with a little help from my friends. ( I am so on top of D13 in this way). It will be interesting to hear what the other women on the BB suggest.
