I'm trying to adjust to my new life, in which my W and I share a bed about half the time. I have come to the conclusion that 1) My W is interested in sex maybe one hour out of every 168 hour week, and that 2) she will not inform me directly which hour that will be, perhaps because she is as surprised as anyone when it comes.
During the other 167, she does not want to talk about sex, nor does she seem interested in any naughty innuendoes. I just have to keep checking. And it sure is easier to check when the kids aren't around!
I enjoy most of my time with W these days, and I take that to be a blessing.
Perhaps my analogy with a slot machine was a bit cold. I don't like slot machines. But I am a gambler. I'm gambling the time I spend working on the marriage will pay off in spades over time. And besides, even when my W rebuffs me, she usually does it laughing and I get a few kisses and some skinship (her word). Try doing that with a slot machine!
