Quote: WTG to your H for not balking at the ritual...that shows a tremendous amount of working through the issues.
Yes, I do have to give my H a lot of credit. I have the support of all you guys and he's had to work though all his resentment and other issues on his own. I think at this point he is mostly relieved that we have come to this agreement and therefore totally disinclined to throw a monkeywrench in the works by balking. Also, I have relaxed enough to be my naturally flirtatious self because I don't have to worry about rejection or the sort of pre-emptive strikes such behavior might have led to in the past. Therefore, our feedback loop is becoming increasingly positive rather than negative. Also, it is much easier to simply enjoy each other's company without that dratted elephant in the room. We just had a wonderful weekend. The funny thing is that the sex wasn't even the best part of the weekend IMO but I know that a lack of sex would have ruined it for me just like a lack of breakfast would have ruined the long hike we took in the woods Sunday morning.
