He initiated the distance but I maintained it. I don't know why he intially started keeping his distance (he tends toward holiday depression) but it started after we came back from vacation in mid October. As my birthday passed with no sex and Thanksgiving passed with no sex AND very little affection I just chose not to do anything at all. So - I without a doubt maintained it and he without a doubt suspects that I am angry and that makes him more petrified than ever although our daily interactions are pleasant and even sometimes fun.
I do know when he is talking circles but (I hate to say it) I sometimes realize far too late. By the time I recognize it sometimes he has already halfway convinced even me that there is no problem or that it is "stress". The next day or a couple of hours later I find myself thinking - DAMN - he did it again. I love the big dummy and I too am overly susceptible to his charms. By charms I don't even mean looks although I think he is handsome - he is just very persuasive and my own guilt over actually having needs makes me too willing to give in.
You are right. I do need to talk with him and I probably shouldn't wait although this may come down on me like acid rain and I may be sorry that I ever brought it up. OTOH - it is a shame to ignore the charms of this nice, round second trimester body. I actually like my second trimester shape - the breasts are still bigger than the belly. In a few weeks that won't be the case!
