All day thursday and friday, she gave me lots of extremely subtle sex hints. I did nothing. Friday I rented a video and went to bed late. She was still up watching TV. But in her usual, turn away position. I did nothing. I know if I had begged/asked, she would have done it. Saturday, all day she chit chatted about stuff she had already talked to me about. She all of a sudden was noticing and complimenting me all week on my looks and dress, I modestly admit I am not a bad looking man, but why the comments now? Last friday's charity f--- was particularly good, so I guess maybe the pump has been primed a bit for the Plan A. I Cleaned the bathrooms. Did the dishes all week. I have been aloof, but not mean. Even cooked a great dinner wednesday, which she praised for three days. (suspect she will expect this more often--which I am more than willing to do). She has been more controlling this week than normal in her "What I should do"stuff ( I usually ignore her when she starts this behavior) , which is making it hard for me to be nice. She is all over the kids for small @#%$ and consulting me more than ever on whether she is right. I definately know she seems more willing, but I will stick with the Plan A because if I do not, I know it will be back to the begging thing all over again. Thank you for the "what to say" dialog--I really needed it. I was going to ask you for it about a thousand times this week. My wife is bright, and a Psychologist/ counselor, so I have to be very consistant which has never been easy for me. But, I have never acted this way in 20 years. One week into it, wish me luck. Either way, the status quo was not working for me.
