"I think that labeling someone as an LD person is probably the worst thing you can do for opening up the door to a better relationship. It defines your wife in such a negative way that it would be very difficult to see any positive behavior in her because you are only looking for the negative."

Fearless - I couldn't have said that better myself. I don't think I was LD until my H began the verbal/emotional abuse. Now we are polarized. Now, we are both trying to move forward. Realistically, I know I need to get there on my own because he just can't seem to give me what I need to sustain my desire. But...I'd settle for "wanting" it again - just being together - wanting that touch.
