Hi GC;
This all sounds pretty positive!

Steve definitely is excellent and you should go for it. As for Dr Phil...totally your call, but if HE wants to go and get spanked....why not? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

this is my first time posting but I have read the whole thread and am really happy for you too! The only thing I want to add is that it is MANDATORY for you and your spouse to get tested for all STDs. My mother is a nurse, so I'm sorry if I am particularly anal about this, but from the stories she's told me..... I can understand (sort of) why your husband answered the way he did, but it's not an acceptable answer. There are too many diseases out there, and you have NO reason to trust the FOW, even if she swore up and down to your spouse she was disease free. You deserve nothing less than absolute peace of mind about this- this is about your HEALTH. Stds are not always "visible" on a partner, and they can lay dormant in the body for months, even years. I can't imagine your husband would have any objections to this when he thinks about it from a health perspective and not just an embarrassing thing to have to do.

my insurance pd for it.. once a few yrs ago without insurance I had the tests done.. due to suspicians.. and I went to a clinic and paid just a little .. maybe 50 bucks? who knows... but anyway.. insisit.. no big deal... tell hi m to tell the dr. it is improtatnt... because of whatever reason he likes... I told my doc. my h had been unfaithful... he may want to say he was involve d with someone he does not trust? whatever? ok?

Hugs, HONEY
