Edie,

I think the structure of dialoguing is better than conversation for such an emotion-laden subject. The question could be as simple as "How do I feel about our sexual relationship?" or you could make it more specific. We have not used the conflict resolution technique much, but as I remember it started with dialoguing and then went further. So you could do a dialogue and then if what you find is that you have a conflict on the subject, then you could move into the conflict resolution process. Or you could use the question suggested in the Post session. I think that there is no time like the present for taking on the difficult subjects. This clearly is not getting better by being left alone.
