So many posts, so little time. I actually came back to the office from my C's office, just so I could catch up. Everyone's posts have been so good, and I've really gotten something from each one, albeit, not necessarily what you might have intended.

Corri, this really stood out:

She wants to respect you. It is the biggest turn on there is. She needs to see your 'disgust' with her.
That, actually, won't be difficult because that mental image - her gritting her teeth - is already burned into my mind. Even the words that Cobra said in his first post today about not taking this personally, can't stop that wound from bleeding. I can take an Ambien to help me get to sleep, but when I wake up 3am next to her, I can't turn off the "grit my teeth". I don't see a problem with using it to prop up the emotional fortitude I need to give her what she wants.

One question, though, to make sure we're on the same page here: what is it that she wants? I'm thinking she wants distance, but you seem to be saying that she wants to respect me. So, you think she'll respect me by me being disgusted with her lame offer? I hear Cobra saying, that ain't gonna work, and I tend to agree, but, as I said, I'd appreciate a clarification if I'm getting off track.
