I admire your stick-to-it-iveness. You are proving daily that she can trust you and you will love her anyway. It's a hard education to give, but trust me, it's even harder to receive it. I'm really happy for you both!

Nicely put, Jess. I fully agree, mostly because that was a big part of ktspktsp's and my relationship so far and it really does just take time, and ultimately, grace.
To the OP: Congratulations, man.
I am with Mal in saying that this knocks my often cynical attitude right on its back. I am very glad for the steps you and your wife are taking together... this is what being intimate is all about. Not necessarily the sex (which is great)
but what it takes to be physically and emotionally vulnerable with another human being, over a long period of time. It takes work, and letting go, all at once.
Please keep us updated! We love to hear GOOD stories like this.
