Thanks for the input. The "final straw" for me was yesterday afternoon. I just went into the kitchen and grabbed him around the waist, told him how much I loved him, kissed him rather soundly and he dragged me out to the living room and threw me on the couch. From there, it just got better. Today we're a little slower. It's 118 degrees out there, and we had to go out. But, as we cool down, it's looking good. We were also able to open up and talk about the whole thing. We were both under the impression that neither of us was interested! I don't know how, but just getting on this site over the past few days has made me a braver soul and I thank you for it. It feels like we're at the beginning of loosening up. It may take awhile to get things where we feel they ought to be. We're moving in 6 weeks. Thank you again, really. )
