Ache,

Man, I feel for you. I wish I could say something that would help because I know that all of your hopes are probably shattered at the moment. Could it be that your wife is just so sick of the sex issue that she said what she did just to get you off of her back for a while? Being in the same boat, I know how hard it is just to forget about everything you've been trying to accomplish, but maybe losing hope will allow you to move on, and once you're able to do that maybe your wife will eventually have a change of heart. I'm starting to believe that's the only thing that might work for me - and I hate it because in the meantime I feel like the loving, romantic marriage that I dreamed of is going down the toilet.

If I happen to think of anything that might help I'll certainly let you know. Sorry that I don't have more to offer at the moment.

Sooner
