I remember when I first came here...I would sit back and watch and try to figure out how I fit in to the puzzle here. How I went from a normal, feisty, in love with life girl, to the woman with absolutely no drive. How could that happen?

I was listening to Secrets of a Passionate Marriage and Schnarch says something about our partners knowing us better than we know ourselves. That if our partner has something unpleasant to say about us, chances are, they know something we haven't admitted to ourselves.

I remember how it would bother me when H would say jokingly to his friends (yes, in front of me) how bad our sex life was. I thought, gee, if you think it's bad now, just you wait. What if he would have said instead, "Mel is just so darn wonderful, sexy, fantastic..." whatever, just anything but what he was saying. Oh, they would all laugh, like it's a universal thing that married couples have terrible sex lives. I don't want it to be that way ever again. I really truly want to figure this out.

There are other people here struggling with the same problems, men with wives no longer interested in sex, would rather sleep with the dogs than their husband. I wish I knew what the secret was.

I have to get my little darling to PreK, so I'll check back later. B


Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
