Default Re: Am I wrong???

I have to agree with your wife - talking and doing are two totally different things. There is a hell of a step involved in going from "pillow talk" to "playmates" - and taking that step is a scary thing.

We started out with just talking - and we just talked together for a long time, then we dabbled on swigning date sites (talking the whole way) and then we talked to our first couple (for months!) before we did anything. At no time were we even 100% sure it would actually happen. There were nerves, fear, doubt - and the closer we got to that line without crossing it, the tougher it looked to get over.

You are one of the very few fortunate men who has a wife open enough to even discuss it. That is a great place to be! Consider how many of your friends wives would kick them to the couch immediately for even bringing it up! She may someday want to try that next step - or maybe she never will. Nothing wrong with either. The worst thing you can do is try to nudge her to, over and beyond that line.

Let her go at her pace. Otherwise, you may be going nowhere fast.
