Sisterhood of Sin -- 9 -- The Dangerous Game

... excuse. They all thought you were great." "Wait a minute. Are you saying that they gave you some sort of rating on me?" "Something like that. They gave feedback. The point is, they were appreciating what I was failing to appreciate. You were a desirable lover. I didn't send pros to you. I sent women who compared you to their own husband, and to other men they've been sent to, and you came out favorably. You're considerate and willing to do what it takes to please them and you don't make it difficult for them to please you. Because of them, I had to take a hard look at myself, and I didn't like what I saw. Haven't we talked about all of this before? I'm sure I've had this conversation with you a thousand times in my head." "No, we haven't talked about this. What didn't you like about yourself." "That I was being impossible to please. That I was comparing you to perfect fantasy men that don't exist. That I was dumping all of the responsibility for my happiness on you, especially in the bedroom, and that I was bottling up all of my unhappiness, from all of the stress in my life, and blaming you for not taking it away from me.

"Yes, Cathy, we both are. Admitting it is one of the things I love about you." "Well I'm going to do my best to protect myself. I thought I could depend on you for that, but you woke me up." "Oh, Cathy, you can depend on me to protect you." "No! No trust, remember? I have to make not being able to trust you not matter. Remember? Like friends with benefits who happened to have kids together." "You make it sound so... devoid of romance." "You married an engineer, Dan, not a manicurist. When you tell me that you love me, it sounds great and it makes me feel loved and wanted, but I'm a realist. We have the foundation for a lifelong loving friendship, but above it is a house of cards built around our land mines. It's the friendship that I really want to maintain, and if that means screw the romance, then screw the romance. Communication helps us strengthen that house and defuse those land mines." "Oh." I could tell he was really considering what I had just said, so I remained silent. Finally, he said, "I guess you're right. But aren't you worried that this could go too far."
