Kelly,

Thank you for taking the time to read my thread and for providing your insight into my situation. I've actually communicated my feelings to my wife on quite a few occasions (usually resulting in the sex argument), but I don't think that she's ever really understood. She still seems to think that my issues are all about sex, and that they’re really not important. I’m hurting every day, but I’m forced to keep my feelings inside because she doesn’t want to hear them. I’m basically a “mini volcano” – every month or two I can’t stand it anymore and I blow up. I think my wife realizes there's a problem, but she doesn't see any urgency in fixing it. Sometimes it seems like the only way to make her understand the seriousness of the problem would be to tell her that I want a divorce. However, I don't want a divorce and I'm not the type to act like I do just to get her to change. With my luck she'd take me up on it. Thanks again for your input and please keep me in mind if you think of anything else that might help me get through to her.

Sooner
