Mickey - thanks for your post: it was the fact that we have quie a lot of relative newbies here who are struggling with this issue that decided me to start the thread. I also hope that someone with a sex averse MLCer like mine would offer their 2c worth.

My h went from literally not being able to keep his hands off me [which I loved and encouraged] to not being able to touch me in the space of about 2 weeks. I think it is extreme guilt in part, but I also think it is denial - if he admitted he still finds me desirable alll the reasons for the OW become less compelling [in his eyes].

It is a mystery.
