BrandNewDay,

Thanks for sharing, and congrats on finding your way through that tangle.

I'm going to share our interaction with my W. She might be interested to hear from someone who's been there and done that.

Curious. How did you go about taking that first step back into sexual intimacy? Did you start back into sex at the "grin and bear it" stage and eventually evolve to "it really can be fun and very gratifying"? OR, did you change your attitude first, and then jump right into "it really can be fun and very gratifying"?

I will not make any excuses but having so many children back to back, I made my "mommy" role the priority not my role as a "wife".

I think my W struggles with that a little too, and I understand why. She had four kids in 6 years. I don't particularly enjoy it, but at least I can understand.

It also is a great stress reliever during PMS and it helps so much to build the bond which was broken.

Now that's just what the doctor ordered!Now how do you get a doctor to write a prescription for sex?

I want to be a part of that enjoyment with my Husband and I want that connection with him. I now hear so many wonderful things and he is much more willing to please me because I have become receptive to his needs as well as my own.

That is beautiful!

Thanks,

COG
