I would have accepted her invite.
Once again, she communicated something that she wanted you to do.
Women like to be pursued by the men they are in love with. Not smothered, pursued, affectionately and sexually.
Nothing makes a woman feel worse than being rejected when she needs affection and sex. Same for guys.
I mean, who doesn't want to be wanted and needed? Who doesn't want to feel attractive to the one they are in love with?
Women like their man to LEAD. It is very attractive to us.

My W used to tell me I thought too much and weighed the options so much that I never made a decision. I am the kind of person who likes to think everything through. But my impulse was to say yes and eat dinner.

Maybe she had a point LOL

When we used to talk about sex and being affectionate, I told her I just didn't think about it. It wasn't that I didn't love her or didn't care. I just really didn't think about it. One time she told me that she wouldn't even care if I had to put it on a calender or send myself an email as long as I could find a way to think about it. That sounded so staged to me. But now I think that it would have been better than not doing it at all. I know it would have been better.

That's because the thoughts and feelings can follow the actions; getting your mojo back and all that.

I am taking my wife to a specialist in a couple of weeks. The appointment is early in the morning and it is 2 hours away. I am thinking about suggesting we go up the night before. Is that too much?

It depends. How have things been going so far?

The trip went well. She has expressed appreciation for my support. I really don't want her going alone, and neither of us are early morning people. She is not saying it, but she is nervous about the doctor issues. We could eat dinner and relax and not have to race up there.

Then do it. Sounds like the perfect opportunity. Maybe get her something small like an angel pin or something sentimental. Tell her that you understand that she's feeling anxious about what she's going through and wanted to get her something to cheer her up.

I did, and we are going up the night before. There is a restaurant there she likes, so we will go there. She thanked me again. It seems like she is trying too.
