hairdog, Way to go, man! So you didn't bring it up, who cares. You didn't brush it off when the moment arrived and that is a huge victory! Stop underestimating your progress my friend.
I liked what you said. It is short and simple and somewhat forceful and man did it send her reeling. That's why she keeps repeating it and that is the reason for the midnight rendezvous between her arm and your side. You're leading, she's following, although in her own special way. (that is not, btw, a snipe at MrsHD) My prediction is that you will have sex before the week is out. IOW, she's full of a lot of hot air. She blusters and roars and then eventually does what you want. If you get sidetracked by the bluster then she goes off on HER path. Very interesting to watch. I can see some of the same dynamics at work in my own M. I have a lot of power and sway over my H and I used to think that this felt good but it really didn't. My new womanly power (which I didn't have until he started acting like the HD sucka that he evidently is) feels a lot better but you would not have been able to tell me that 10 years ago.
Stick with what is working. Remember that next time you feel the urge to placate her. You don't have to get as loud or as mean as her, simply talking calmly but not kowtowing to her suffices. Who knew!
Now........you know the dance. Next she's going to come at you with statistics and how NO ONE makes love once per week, you are being unreasonable and wtf is the matter with you anyway. Brush it off, refuse to have that convo and repeat what you did earlier. And then sit back and wait for her to rendezvous with you again. Yee haw.
