Michelle,

you've done it yet again. You are truly an amazing woman and your commitment to helping todays couples deal with marital problems shows through in your writing.

I have read db and most of dr, after h's ea and ultimate separation and headed straight for a D. h is now home and when he first came back I could not believe the amount of physical intimacy we were having. it was as if the spouse I always wanted appeared in my h when he returned to me.

well h has been home now for 3 months and things have dwindled a bit. Better than they were previous to his leaving but still not as much as I would like.

The "physical intimacy" problem has existed in our r for many years prior to m as well. and I know that I've gone about dealing with the issue in many of the wrong ways. I've felt hopeless, unatracitvice, depressed angry etc.. and yes these things have spilled over into other parts of our r and not at all unnoticed by me. I've even mentioned it to h...h goes to football games on sundays and if we had been intimate the night before... when he'd walk out the door sun morning I was cheerfull and would tell him to have a good time. If we had not been intimate I would be bitter and angry and from there it would go.

I used to put "sex" on my christmas list, ask for sex, fight and get angry when I'd get the "I'm too tired", or "I just don't have it" ... you know the list.

I am happy to learn finally from a proffessional that I am not the only woman dealing with a low libido h. Life can be very difficult being a woman with a high sex drive partnered with a low libido h.

hoping to gain more insights as to how to have a "sex filled" r with the man I love.
