Thanks for the feedback and the info. I think I'll just go for it and if it gets "pooh-poohed", oh well. I'll just try something else.
What you say about lingerie and acting a certain way is interesting. Never thought of it that way. I guess it borders on role playing in a way. If someone gets all dressed up, whether it is as a sailor (sorry LFL, couldn't resist ) or just fine lingerie, there is some expectation of reacting in certain ways. Hmmm ... processing.
Ahhh, the getting all excited about a mystery gift and then finding out it wasn't such a mystery after all. It is funny in a way the things that can get us down or resentful or "pissy." Life is too hard sometimes, and sometimes it is our own fault. For example, your statement:
"However, I should say that even on our bad nights we still have fun together and managed to ML anyway."
... creates resentment in me. Gotta fight it or it can defeat all my plans and progress.
