no sex.
But he was holding me in bed while we were watching the Family Guy DVD he just picked up... and he asked very sweetly, "Are you happy?" I told him that for the most part I was. I said there were sexual things we needed to work on, but that I felt really good about the rest. He acknowledged he was still trying to sift through a lot of PTSD BS. I reminded him of my patience and assured him it'd continue. Then, I asked if he was happy. He said he was, especially moments like the one we were caught in, where he had me wrapped up in his arms and we were watching TV. I turned to look at him... he really did look genuinely content. And that made me want to stay and work on this.
So I said, "If there's ever anything I can do to help you, or anything about me that drives you mad, I'd hope you'd tell me." Mmhmm. "And if you ever thought about giving counseling another shot, I'd even go with you if it'd help." He said, "We'll see." And then we agreed to talk about it later.
How much later should I wait to revisit the conversation?
