Wondering if you'd be willing to share your story with some of us who do not know it. You seem to have your act very much together and I wonder how things were before you came to MB or how/why you came here.

I am aware, however, of how shy you are so if you'd rather point me to a thread in the archive that will do as well.

Thanks.

Oh Em, you are in for a great treat! Here is the link to his first "question" appropriately entitled, My story from May 10, 2000.

Thanks for asking for this. I think I'll go read his ancient writings too. You can click on his sunglasses and run a search of all 1500+ posts, but you might feel swamped (hee hee).

Sorry Mike. Just tickled to get more of your comedy tonight on reruns.

Wow. These reruns are great. Pathos too. Here is another one: A sex question for the ladies.


And getting deeper into the mix with Too Much of a Doormat? and the classically entitled "Romancing the Stone"

Can you tell I'm Mike's biggest fan?

Okay. That's enough. He's for real.

lol....well, I see Karenna has already put the "Worst of Mike" tape in the VCR

I also enjoyed reading back to them.

I don't have a thread handy, but I also had sort of a meltdown in October that is an important part of the tale. That is on the board as well.

Any questions, ask away. Thanks for your interest.

Mike

Mike - I'm surprised...
You let Karenna jump in ahead of you.
Does this mean she knows you as well (better???) than you know yourself?!
Or are you letting her speak for you?!

P.S. I am reading it, but there are only so many hours in a day...

Maybe I should just hop down to the meltdown part...

This is such an amusing thread.

So Mike, did you really find out that she was faking it all these years? Do tell!

This thread, SF frequency lets us know that you did find out. So the impact post must be from Sept or Oct, maybe even Nov when I was a bit out of things for a while.

But here is another classic. Point system
Pure humor!

I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT!!!!!!!!

To a strategic reassessment.

Great post, JL. And you are right....a W snarling No is one problem....a wife gently saying not tonite and perhaps scheduling a near term time is very different.

Basically, I went 14 years without dealing with an SF problem or really any rejection, for that matter. So I was spoiled, I guess, by the thermometer on this board (one would think that this is a skewed sampling.) But for the last 5 months I've been dealing with not only SF rejection but a relationship in crisis...I don't know about you, but my first thought was to make love a lot, and make everything better. But, damn it, the lovemaking was a secondary cause of the crisis, so that wasn't there.

arrgghh!!

I said to Steve last night, his concept of the lovebank has never felt more true to me, because problems with SF turned my feelings on a dime.

And you are right, it isn't the lack of a physical orgasm. We can do that ourselves, remember? It is the emotional bond with your mate. And the rejection is just devastating to a guy...in March, when my W told me in a burst of honest revelation that she used to "dread" making love, I heard her out calmly, then excused myself, went for a ride in my car, pulled over and threw up by the side of the road. That hurt was so devastating your mind cries out for it never to happen again.

<end rant>
