Yes MrsNOP I agree. She isn't thinking about the what the minimum is she can do. Under normal circumstances she does not think about it at all. I like the overfunctioning/underfuctioning idea. I have certainly overfunctioned in response to her underfunction to the extent that sometimes I feel she swats me away like an irritating fly buzzing round. My feelings are dulled at the moment so I think I can keep a distance for some days if not weeks but no doubt if my desire for her returns things will go back to "normal". For now it's time for me to be the "determined serious guy".
Cally, Hairdog and Lillieperl - Yeah I give it two weeks tops too.
Greeneyes, I don't know Staffordshire but it has a famous history being "The Potteries" where the Royal Doulton and Wedgewood china is made.
Honeypot. I'm glad you liked the cuddles - they made me feel better too. SD
