Tim,
I'm not really afraid to be direct..it's more that the having to say it directly kills my mood. So I avoid it. He avoids it cause he's a conflict avoider. So there ya go...two people not bringing it up and continuing to sit in front of the tube while the night wastes away. (well he wouldn't consider it wasteful, he likes tv)

It just occurred to me that I could start being playful/funny/suggestive again. You know, Tim, I've stopped doing that cause it freaked him out. I don't think he'd be freaked any longer but I've forgotten to unbox this part of myself.

Thanks for the unintended insight! Oh and I wasn't trying to hijack; I actually thought it was relevant to your situation.

Best,
HP
