New Year Beginnings

 Today is January 5, 2017.  I feel good, mentally and emotionally.  I made it through the change of the new year okay.  My husband even made a funny on New Years Eve about our sex life and for the first time I did not feel threatened.

He said he needed to change and wondered what he should wear for New Years Eve,  I said, "go like baby new year and wear you birthday suit."  His response, "I keep telling you I want to go to parties like that, but you are not interested."

He said it in such a way that I did not feel pressured, guarded, threatened, scared or worried.  This is a good sign, I am taking it.

I might be wrong.  Maybe he still is waiting for me to change, Maybe he is letting me know that even thought he is joking, he is still on that path.  I am going to need clarity on this with him.  It is a healing step.  I need a clear yes, that he plans to move forward with his sexual desires, or a no, he is willing to be monogamous with me even if it means forever.

I fear this bridge will break under us.  I hope not.  I love him dearly, but can not deny or sell myself out for his sexual desires.  I also understand that I can not expect him to do the same.

For now.  Today is okay.  It is better,  I can tell I am healing.
