CeMar- I am with you but I need my hope that someday I can make my LD wife, a happy HD wife.
GEL - You stated on another thread that you can "make yourself fall in love" with the Jera thread. And I believe that as well. I am hoping that the same applies with desire. I know that in a lot of cases where my wife might start out doing it because it is an obligation but then it turns into a "good" time for her. The times it is disappointing (and this is where it applies to you CeMar) is when it is obligatory and doesn't turn to "good."
I think that is where the other things us men do to help alleviate the symptoms come in: laundry, dishes, etc...
Where I agree with CeMar is with the Dr. Laura book. To me it is so simple, love and desire your man for what he does. If you can "make yourself fall in love" then why not "make yourself love and desire your man." If there are things that you want him to do, then hell, use ML to get it done. I am simple enough and primitive enough that I will be all over it!
