Just didn't feel 'right'. Having said that though, you are right, a lot of the dynamic was very much in place throughout.<br /><br />Sometimes I think it is a good thing to take a step back and evaluate things. Certainly I think it has been good for us adn we have learnt from the experience.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326826956049047973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659327111085869724.post-35494012628399652392013-10-24T04:33:21.252-07:002013-10-24T04:33:21.252-07:00Hi Roz, :)

It all kind of just becomes the way we live in many ways, doesn't it? I imagine that it did feel strange to go without ttwd for that period of time. At the same time, things were still very much in place in some important ways, it sounds like. Sometimes it helps to take a step back and get some perspective. Growth ensues! Looks like you two have done wonderfully there! I'm off to read part two! Many hugs and congrats on two years!!!<br /><br /><3 KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09502903951761571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659327111085869724.post-79959278577204458062013-10-16T01:58:50.126-07:002013-10-16T01:58:50.126-07:00Hi Es May,

As I said above, at the moment we haven't really made changes, but I suspect that will come.<br /><br />It has certainly been an interesting and confusing experience LoL. I think it has been a period of growth too. Our basic structure remained in place so we both had to dig deep and work hard to maintain that without the rest ... rules, accountability etc.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326826956049047973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659327111085869724.post-39387712039530323342013-10-11T04:18:14.232-07:002013-10-11T04:18:14.232-07:00Hi Bleuame,

I agree, sometimes taking a step back can be a good thing because it does show us where we have been etc and is a great learning experience and period of growth.<br /><br />We are slowly making our way and focussing at the moment on reestablish ttwd as it was before. However, I suspect there may be some tweaking later on.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326826956049047973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5659327111085869724.post-79526525200037101662013-10-11T04:12:12.236-07:002013-10-11T04:12:12.236-07:00Hi Mona,

It has been an interesting, learning and confusing experience but we are slowly making our way back to where we want to be. <br /><br />At the moment, we haven't really made many changes to what we had prior to the hiatus, but I think that is mostly because at the moment we are focussing on re-establishing what we had.

Its so not easy sometimes and can be deeply complex. <br />But detours can be so important to show us where we have been and where we are going. <br /> And I think, as long as communication is open and present, all things are possible. You are moving forward! Maybe you don't know where, quite yet but it is forwards. A relationship only belongs to those who are in it and taking the time to figure out what works, is so important...whether that's 5 months in or six years. Huge hugs my friend!

It is always great to hear the HoH perspective.<br /><br />I guess there are a lot of reasons that an HoH may loose confidence in his ability to lead. You and Willie are both right too, I needed to trust his motivation for wanting to take up the leadership role again. <br /><br />Yes, we Women are very complicated creatures at times LoL. Willie is right, it most definitely is not always easy to submit, even though we may want this kind of relationship.
