EM, I understand where you're coming from regarding the sex issue. I am impressed with your willingness to have a platonic R for 24 months. I understand that you were not patient, and wished things were different, but you realized that you could not force the issue to be resolved according to your timeline. I admire your strength and perseverance.
The sex issue is a complicated one. On the one hand, as you say, it can only be worked-thru when there is a partnership. On the other hand, how does one become intimate again with someone when there has been great distance in the M?
Thanks for your willingness to share this aspect of your R.
