So Friday and Saturday night the baby was miserable, wouldn't go to sleep and H said in frustration - gee, I had hoped we would have sex tonight
Karen... <gasp> but its sooooooo late. and the baby... how could we possibly have sex with all these distractions?
It still seems to me Karen that for whatever reason your H has in his head, consideration of you--in his opinon (dont bother karen with y pesky sexual urges), needing things to be 'just so', whatever the reason, he gets 'thrown off'.
His stumble, sexual immaturity?, deprivation of self, throws you into your blah blah blah that you mentioned.
something like the above would come from a place of confidance in your own attractiveness and help H see that, (hehe that is kinda silly) it doesnt have to be.
Then he had a "chat" with DD and we decided she needed to cry it out a bit. Her sleep cycle has been disrupted with the vacation and she isn't on track again yet. So, on Sunday night we put her down and she cried about 35 minutes and slept ALL NIGHT.
OMG!!! You just let the baby cry? THAT IS SOOOO mean.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it. Seriously I watch my nephews fairly often and in the beginning there would often be this very basic, 'testing' and requirement to do what they need. Set the boundary.
