first of all, jethro, I definitely KNOW how W feels when you want sex. she thinks... oh, it's just about sex, it's not about ME or LOVE, or ME, or ME... it's all about HIM... honestly? Withholding what your spouse really needs is more than cruel. Well, I'm not going to do that my H anymore. I'm sorry you're going through that.
I can certainly equate it with how H wasn't meeting MY needs and I wouldn't wish that feeling on my worst enemy. With me begging and pleading for H to get help, or to not get help, to just be my friend... and getting told, NO! So, what the heck? H needs lovin', H gets lovin' (most of the time). If that's gonna help H be my friend and meet my needs, then, shoot yeah...
As for you focusing on the past. What do you mean by that. Are you saying that being denied now hurts like it did before? I didn't get that.
The other thing i wanted to say about being "In LOVE" is this...
To me, being in love means I'll know H was the right choice for the long haul. It means that I am 100% conscious of my committment to the R and that H is 100% conscious of his committment and that we are both aware of all that entails.
