I'm more or less with LFL here. MrsHD DID give her answer, and it was no. However, that doesn't really matter. What is more important is that HD start presenting his honest slef and stop hiding behind the placating shell he's built up over the years. All Hairy can do is change himself and stop supplicating to her. That means putting out his honest feelings, wants and desires and not hiding behind soothing words like yesterday morning when he replied he wasn't upset. If he is true to himself, and let her see his true self, and keeps it there in her face, then she'll have to get comfy with the real Harry, or get out. By presenting an honest portrait, she can't argue with him; she's going to be forced out of her comfort zone and will be forced to deal with her own sh!t. Harry, despite what I said earlier, I think you are doing a good job here. I guess you found where she hid that set of brass balls. I'm proud of you, man.
