Chrome,

Thanks for replying

"Sorry DN, took me awhile to get back to this post."

Never a problem! I can't image how busy you must catching up IRL, let along here!


"...if they only knew us they wouldn't say it."

Wow - how did you get in my head! I say that to myself all the time. I really have a hard time seeing (the good) what other people see in me. Must learn to ignore the 'glob' on my shoulder.

"I like, I REALLY like those affirmations"

Thank you.

"Haven't gotten there yet, mainly because of the demands of 3 children in diapers and a busy work schedule, but soon, VERY soon, I am going to ramp up the insistence that we are a couple and should act that way."

Very understandable and a very reasonable approach you have. I feel that we are finally at a point where this is something that we should be able to fit back in to our lives. S does well with family members and we can easily slip out for drinks or coffee or overnight to grandma's.

I do feel like I have all my ducks in a row. I feel like I will be able to verbalize the things that I would like to see change in our R.

It's funny, I am reading everyone's post the past couple days (it's been kinda quiet, huh?) and everyone seems to be in a "blech" kinda mood, including me. Is the the alignment of the planets or something?!?!

So, I have been wanting to ask, what is your title? You have a PhD, right? That conversation on your thread went right over my head, but it sounds really interesting! I am not the science-type; I was always interested in the arts, thus why I ended up with a degree in Interior Design. The only technical skill I have is being able to cram 200 people into a space that was build for 100!! I started out with my major being Art Therapy. Should have stayed with that. I think that would have been more my calling. I really wanted to work with autistic children. I guess it's never too late, right?

Well, hope you're having a good day.
Nicky
