Most of SO's excuses for not having sex are always along the lines of "I'm disgusted with myself, and too ashamed to...". I understand that this is usually a LMR excuse, and I am able to push through it usually, but now sex is in the dark, or with her fully clothed, and body hidden.

I have a few questions:

  1. If my SMV continues to rise would the average AWALT woman stop having that excuse? I.E. If Chad were around would she give him the same excuse? (this stuff seems to be deep and dark physcho stuff, so I'm not sure.)

  2. If my SMV continues to rise, increasing the gap between us, and she's "Batshit Crazy", am I on my way to divorce? I'd like to think I can lead her into a state of mental health, but Athol Kay and other forum posts suggest it's pointless to try.

  3. Currently trying to maintain Dread Level 5, (about halfway in my move from SMV 6 - 8). Should I lower to Dread Level 2, and wait to move up?

  4. Am I in her frame by GAF?
