A Very Stubborn Convert
After 15 years of listening, and mostly disagreeing, I had to let you know that I am finally a convert! I am a 48 year old mother of 3 and wife of 1 finally appreciated man.
My mother raised me that men were not needed and I should be independent, have my own career, etc. I did that: had twins put them in the best day care money could buy, and felt guilty. I listened to you, snickered at times, and said that is not me. I have my career, money and a man who is lucky to have me. Finally when my kids were 8, I was so wracked with guilt, I gave up my $80,000/yr. job and stayed home. That was 11 years ago. It was tough: no more nice vacations, themed birthday parties and expense activities, but we made it.
My twins now 18 and in college only remember that mom was at home, not the themed birthday parties.
Finally the toughest conversion came for me about 6 months ago when I read an email between my husband and a salesperson he met through trying to purchase something for our home. The emails soon became a little friendlier than I would have liked. I opened my eyes and realized that this man, who I felt was lucky to have me, who I nagged and belittled frequently, who I gave sex to only when he stroked me into it, I rarely complimented and hardly appreciated, was being appreciated by someone else. I decided to hug him more, to kiss him on the lips, to stroke his body, to hold his hand and finally, and most importantly to sexually arouse him every chance I could get! He became so attentive and I became so excited, we are like a brand new couple, trying new things and loving it. We talk frequently about this change, he asked what happened... I told him that it is high time he is appreciated in every way. I haven't seen any more emails, I continually think of ways I can be his girlfriend, and finally Dr. Laura, it has occurred to me how lucky I am to have him! One final note... my husband has always been a little overweight, and has refused to do anything about it. He is now on a diet with no nagging from me.
Thank you for changing every part of my life!
Your Most Stubborn Convert!
