GH, your threads move faster than the speed of light....lol Anyway, I will post here since I don't get much attention on my thread (sorry). I finished Passionate Marriage. I found it very much above my head and difficult to comprehend - could be my lack of education (only finished high school), any who, the gist of the book, which by the way I felt could have been written in alot less pages, says, in my opinoin, that you need to feel good about yourself before you can expect anyone else to feel good about you. Stop trying to get validation from other people. Don't look to your spouse to make you happy. Hug and don't let go first, kiss and make love with your eyes wide open. Connect with your spouse, do not hide your true feelings behind closed eyes. Take pleasure from your spouse and do not feel bad about it. Get it, I think.
One that note, when H and I put our youngest to bed we hugged and I kissed him - he then grabbed my face with both hands and totally "made out" with me, french kissed and all. I about died! But then, I had to belch, I stopped and told him so. (Sorry, had a beer and that is what it does to me). He was then done. I feel I was given a test and failed it miserably. We talked a while, and he said basically don't worry, things will happen in time. I told him, things won't just happen, we have to make it happen........
Anyway, I wish I could go back. What I have been waiting for for so long is gone and I can't get it back and I don't know if I will ever get this opportunity again.
I am going to do what GH did a few nights ago, and not bring it up or acknowledge it and see where it goes from here.
GH, again, sorry for the hijack but we're buds, right?
