I need to come at this from a completely different angle and I'm not sure what that is, or how to do it, or even if I should ... ========================== that was step 1 edi, keep cranking those wheels...
Before the summer bomb my H and I did ML, but there was no emotional intimacy, the kind I see when a H caresses his W's face, none of that. I remember a few discussions i'd have with H, --who previous to his WAS state would want to ML all the time-- then thought that more than 2x a week was too much. I, of course, ended up crying and upset and he'd say things like "jeez, way to destroy my masculinity, just cut my ****s off already". I thought it was just physical but now I realize he really didnt' "let me in", thus, the ML suffered.
If not MC, would he agreed to IC? no questions asked afterwards about what was said during T?
