Lisbeth: I got myself a nice computer geek... sigh. And, he's a Mac Addict

(he wore that damn t-shirt to bed every day last week ROFL)... The problem

with computer geeks (at least from my experience since I have tended to date

mainly computer or science nerds most of my life), is that they can have

difficulty communicating, etc.

Now, I must ANNOUNCE TO EVERYONE that my computer geek and I had a wild

evening last night together and this looks promising for the future! We took

a shower together last night and ... let's just say I remembered why I

thought he was the cutest guy in the world! :) I also remembered that

futons were made for LOVE! ROFL

Two young children have kind of .... threw a wrench in the passion

department. We've been having pretty severe problems since my son was born

(almost 3 years ago) but it has definately gotten worse since my surgery.

I've heard that the surgery *can* cause conflict in a relationship and that

definately has been the case with us. He's been going to individual

counselling, I just started yesterday and we will begin couples counselling

next week. So, for those of you out there that may be experiencing similar

conflicts in part due to the surgery -- hang in there. I finally feel some

hope...

all the best,

Hey, Lisbeth: Thanks for your (and everyone else's) prayers. I think we are

finding some common ground.. We are remembering how we WERE and how we FELT

and that we definately have something that we want to maintain. :) And -

even to make better and stronger. :)

OH, MAC geeks are great! There aren't as many of them as PC Geeks, so they

are special catches! ROFL I can tell you some hints on how to attract one's

attention: Get one of those Mac OSX t-shirts and they will flock to you!

LOL Better yet, yell 'Pentium Sucks!' at some social gathering and see who

looks at you admirably instead of in bewilderment or disgust! ROFL

all the best,

Didn't know that was a Mac nerd. Can't be all that bad, then!!!

And, it seems that you found the cute on-off switch in the shower.

Did the water make the sparks fly?

Yeah, he's a diehard mac fan... We are a Mac-only family -- I have one of the

original Apples (and we have at least 2 other defunct older machines in the

house that it is sacreligious to get rid of). We have a G4, Ibook (my baby)

and IMac (for the kids) all hooked up to a wireless airport connection. I

can't begin to tell you how interesting and productive that early morning

bathroom time can be when you are reading e-mails or surfing the net from the

potty! ROFL

No, he's not all bad. I think that once I changed MY ATTITUDE and such, he

reciprocated in kind. AT least the give and take has begun! My

initiating changes instead of demanding that he do it and my inner focus did

wonders. After all, how can I ask him to change when I keep implicitly

accepting those behaviors even though I say I don't want to? No matter who

was 'wrong' or 'behaving badly', I had to realize that it was only ME who

could do something about ME. When I started acting in a different way, I

started getting a different response. We have restored that bit of faith in

each other that had been lost

Well, my son was lying outside whining the entire time we took that

candlelight shower, so sparks were ignited but weren't able to really burn

for too long except for a touch here and there... LOL After the kids finally

succumed to sleep we had fun on the futon in the living room! ROFL I have

to nip this damn male-Oedopus-complex in the bud! My son is insanely jealous

of his father -- it's ridiculous.
