cat...she's said that all along back when I used to ask her...sort of like, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" that our kids used to do on car trips. I quit asking weeks ago because in the end it didn't help any and even if it didn't bother me, it bothered her to talk about it, so I had to just drop it.

It doesn't really bother me anymore so much. Aside from what's important to me as an individual and as a Christian, I could take this marriage or leave it right now.

I guess I've just noticed real small changes in how she relates to me now in terms of affection, but don't know if it means anything or not.

If we'd just been dating a while I'd think going from pecks to softer, lingering kisses were a sign that things were progressing, getting more serious. I don't know what it means, if anything, in this kind of sitch.

But you can see why I get in trouble. I'm analytical by nature, and analyze for a living, so it's just what I do
