Just an update since I tend to let my threads fall away into oblivion most of the time:

H and I are still in a really great place. Very affectionate, emotionally close, just happy overall.
Sex is still not that different in terms of frequency but when we do have sex, it is really so much better than in the past.
And I am quite certain a large part has just been my attitude.
But also, H is expressing himself much more freely, especially in the sexual arena. He actually said he wanted a "blow job" yesterday. That is so not his style so I am glad to see he is getting out of his own comfort zone. And no, we did not get to do the deed because of the myriad of other issues going on with kids, illness, the list goes on. But it didn't even matter. It was more him Wanting to do it that made me happy. He has sexual desire like any other man. How about that. News to me. The way he is different than some men is that he needs to feel good about the R to Want to have the sex. And I guess that is pretty healthy.
So that is where we are right now, sexually.
Interestingly, the SL and our overall intimacy has really made us get our act together in other ways as well. We are almost out of debt from all the chaos of the S and we decided to use the rest of our tax return on a much deserved family vacation to Disney this summer. The kids are thrilled, needless to say. And so are we. I haven't been to Disney since I was a kid.
Yippeeeee!
