I Was Almost A Walk-Away Wife (next thread)

[Kettricken]

Sandi, I just wanted to say that I know at least two people in my immediate circle who feel *exactly* the same way as your husband seems to. It is *very* meaningful to them if their mate is just spending time in their presence (same room) whether or not they are talking or touching. I *personally* cannot relate to this very well, but have come to understand that it is very true for a certain type of person. So your husband is not unique in this area. Are there some books you've been meaning to get to that you could read while he's watching tv? Or letter writing, hobbies, etc? You shouldn't have to sit there like a bump on a log, but if you could stretch yourself a bit to find ways to just be peaceful in his presence, it might really pay dividends in terms of your emotional relationship.
