This is a short FR to go along with what turned out to be my "Hello" post which was "Application of MRP to a good marriage."

If this seems so basic, understand that there are many of us lost out there...

Situation: Due to last minute sleepovers for the kids, we find ourselves alone for the night (very rare). Due to MRP, I know her cycle well enough to know that this is probably day 1 of shark week. I ask her about her status...

Her: Why? All you care about is the sex? (slight laughter) (implying: isn't it enough to spend time alone together?)

Old Me: (starts worrying about acting like a brute) (starts feeling ridiculously guilty because, yes, that's all I care about) (starts worrying if I was being offensive enough to turn her off to the whole idea) (takes her question as a sign she isn't into it)
Has tepid sex that night after weakly initiating.

MRP me: walks right up to her...works hands under shirt..says simply "Yes", pulls her in for 5-10 sec kiss..walk away. Has awesome sex that night after initiating strongly, brooking no resistance. Old me is like: "Whaaaaaat?"

My regret is not latching on to this stuff earlier in life, but grateful now and just want to let this board know that there are lurkers here who are being changed for the better. Now that positive results are coming in, I want to add my voice.
