Thank you for posting, Dave. A lot to digest, for sure, but it sounds like you are, at the very least, a Schnarch-success story, if not a SSM success story.
My "goal" hasn't even gotten to the "wish my spouse would initiate more" stage as I'm clearly still at the "wish my spouse would recognize my 'want' as valid" stage. Still, it sounds like your goals have changed a bit over time.

Hah...I remember one of the first sessions you talked about with your counselor, and she asked what you preferred to be called, Dave or David. You said something like, "Either one. I don't care." She said, "Why?" That got your attention.
