I have not read it.
One of the first women I dated had a vibrator in the bedroom and I had never seen one. I thought it was an electric razor. Which I thought was odd to keep in bed.
Thanks for this!

IMO... some people...maybe its men maybe its a women but usually one person in the relationship has trouble with this... it involves both people being vulnerable... it took me and my H going to therapy separately to get close to this... maybe it would happen faster with MC...

Hi all-
I feel so outta the couch loop... just been swamped at work the last two days.
We got ice overnight. Driving was horrible today... only added to my anxiety with the whole going on dates thing.
I am really wishing I had weekly sessions with t....
Bed time here.

I started listening to someone reading it out loud on youtube. She began reading expecting it to be awful and I found her commentary to be quite amusing.

Um, no. Jeff said all the women on his squad were literally reading it at the same time at the 911 center.

Oh, yeah...that's when they had all those unanswered calls...

I am currently in the process of bleaching some of my dyed black hair. The first run colored some of my roots red. Now I am watching it go up maybe two shades. As long as the blue shows up. With the red tint, it might go purple, which isn't a bad second choice.

Yeah, I know...I'm going to kill my hair.

I'm doing all this tonight. Got a bug up my butt. Also don't have to be to work until 4pm. Working until midnight tomorrow. I'll just be getting home this time tomorrow. Erg.

I've never been brave enough to touch my hair with hair dye. Getting it cut is scary enough.

One of our fences has been taken down and the pup managed to find an old disgusting ball in the cleared away area. Yuck.

So I'm sitting here drinking campari and soda, inside in the sun, and not playing with the disgusting ball.

The post-session roller coaster continues.

Bottom line: she's hurting me too much and it's not worth it.

The hair isn't so bad. I just told a friend of mine who just got another tattoo that I wasn't brave enough for that.

Had to look up campari. Apparently you can't buy it in the states. I might decide to have my liqueur of choice, Tuaca with some Sprite and lemon.

I have too many disgusting balls around here that my dogs don't need to find any...lol.

I'm sorry, CE. She's probably trying to teach you something, though.

There must be some local variant with a US patent.

I'm sorry you're feeling that way CE. I'm undecided about whether my roller coaster ride is worth it any more.

The campari and soda was tasty. Makes it feel like summer to sit with a nice cold drink in the evening sun.

I'd consider a small tattoo if there was some symbol or something that meant a lot to me. I think I'd shock everyone more if I dyed my hair. Maybe I should one day just for the shock value.

And this ball that the dog found was a new level of disgusting. All his original disgusting toys didn't compare to this (until he just broke this one into many pieces which are now confiscated).

Likewise.

If T wants me to keep coming, she's got some sweet-talking to do!

I've felt that way too. After all the trust that has been lost, I've felt like she really needed to step up and...she just ended up saying she thought the the experience was now too toxic for me and I should stop seeing her. All while I'd been fighting for the relationship to survive, despite everything. Ouch. That was the thing that nearly finished it completely.

I wish my T would acknowledge how much I'm hurting.

I do know how it feels to wish they would do something in a slightly different way, even if it was just a small gesture towards what we feel we need. My T also tends to stand quite firmly though.

I like to color my hair. It's brown now, sometimes I do a more reddish brown. I'm going to get a tattoo, soon....
