Hairy,
Bite that bullet, brutha!
Email her...it will be easier.

Write: I'm sorry for fibbing this morning when you asked if I was mad. Of course I was lying and you knew it. I lie to you quite frequently because: 1. I am a nonconfrontational person and 2. I am deathly afraid of your anger. However, the time has come that I am ready to start getting real in this M. I'd like to talk more about what is missing from our relationship tonight, after D5 is in bed.

I know it's hard. Shoot it's hard for me and I'm not a nonconfronter. Many times my heart would be hammering and I'd be on the verge of chickening out when I'd blurt it out and we'd go from there. The difference in my situation is that MrH is like you..fairly open to talking about his shortcomings (to a point).

Good luck and stick with it! You can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
