Thank you for the castle wall story. When I read it I am reminded about why I don't just up and leave H nor give him any ultimatums. It isn't just the relgious aspect. It is my feeling that H has a pretty impressive wall built. I have referred to him before as being "well defended". So, when I come at him with the battering ram of "R talks, tears of frustration, anger etc..." the wall stays high or gets even higher. I need to be mindful of being more "inviting" toward H and less judgemental. It goes a long way when I do that. Recently, I have seen improvement. I quit pushing, H's tendonitis got better, his seasonal depression is abating and low and behold things are improving - whaddya know?
HP,
Got a new tack for ya. Just for fun I picked up a book on "aphrodisiac meals" - there are lots out there. I bought "Fork me, Spoon me", one is called "Intercourses". These are great for Valentine's inspiration, meals for two after kids are in bed, interesting "snacks" for the budoir. Maybe there are books like this at the library. Maybe you just need to find some "fun" to find your libido. Wink, wink, nod, nod.
