Ditto, what was said here. I also will bleed occasionally and I used to have a lot of trouble with recurrent UTI's when I was young. After all of that I did have an LD period because I was just tired of hurting all the time. That being said I also enjoy agressive sex but making sure of lubrication and arousal is very important. You don't state your ages but if your W is over 35 there may be some hormonal changes that are part of it too. Sounds like you and she need a frank discussion on this topic and some others. What factors contributed to the separation and how are those being adressed?
