My illustration does indeed point out why LL is important and why respecting the other's LL is important. However, time and time again on this board we have discussed the fact that meeting the other's LL makes for a happier overall marriage but rarely results in the higher desire partner getting more actual sex. My H can acknowledge my need for PT verbally but DOING it (all kinds of touch) seems a different matter altogether. We have a long way to go on this.
Trying,
When my H is talking about stress etc...he is literally referencing every other thing in our lives EXCEPT having the baby. That is the single thing that he sees as going well. He is talking about "if" I were to get pregnant again and have another (believe me, I'm not thinking that direction). He doesn't connect new baby stress to the other stuff AT ALL. This is something he has wanted his entire life - he didn't marry until he was 36 and this is his second biological child. He has personally raised about 18 foster children -most were before we ever met. Having as many children as possible is what he sees as his "mission" for lack of a better word.
Journey and H-dog,
Thanks for the vote of confidence. We shall see. I have printed emergency childbirth instructions and have insisted that we bring the new baby's car seat, the hospital bag and various and sundry with us on our trip for next week. My belly is so low it shows in all my maternity clothes. I don't know if I will last until April 21.
Hey H-dog - if you use my line Mrs. HD will think you are talking about her breasts when you say "soft place".
