cemar - I don't need you to dish out more crap to me. There is a difference between desire and want. I wanted to have sex with my husband for a long time even though the desire was gone. Then, after years of verbal abuse, struggling to find out what was "wrong" with me, I woke up one day and realized that most days I didn't even want to have sex anymore - because of all the pressure and lack of understanding on my H's part. This isn't a tit for tat kind of thing. I'm seeking to bring back the passion. I deserve to have that too, and I want our family to stay together. I've made the decision to try one more time to be "in love" and am looking for help on how to rebuild a broken connection. So, if you can't say anything nice, then please don't say anything at all.
