So, found No More Mr Nice Guy in February after a breakdown/suicide attempt after two and a half years of no physical affection from my wife after she gave birth to our son... It made so much sense, I was raised by a single mother, then wanting to learn more, I found this place and RP blogs, etc. Only thing I've actually started is lifting, about three weeks ago, but I was feeling bold today and while my wife was preparing dinner for our son, I walked up beside her and said "I want a hug". She said "I want doesn't get", like she says to our son, and I said "ok, let me rephrase that, when you are done, you are going to give me a hug", to which she said nothing. When she was done, she turned, smacked my ass and gave me a hug. Then she said "don't tell me what to do" with a sideways glance and a cheeky half grin.

That is more than I've had in the past year or so... I feel like I did well. Very, very early days, but the medium is the message, right? That's the impression I got.
