On the derail: its really annoying that in the 21st century we've somehow lost the distinction between finding something gross versus being afraid and bigoted toward those who practice it.
Back to Arinath's dilemma -- its odd to me that no one has commented on this. The dude confronts his wife about the lack of sex (good for you), and the conclusion is she hints there will be sex sometime in the unspecified near future. And he reacts as if this was a positive outcome.
If you're dying of thirst and finally get the opportunity to confront the hydraulic despot about your situation, and they say "ok sometime in the near future you are likely to find water"...while they're sitting there sipping a glass of water, but not offering you any .... youre gonna take this as a good sign? I'm confused at this line of thinking.
Wish ya the best but that reaction didnt sound like a positive sign to me, it sounded like a tactic to get you off her back for an indefinite amount of time.
