Yeah, when you put it like that it does not sound too intolerable. I just don't like the sound of the word numb. It is pretty close to how I think I am going to have to end up if I want to stay married....and I don't like it. Maybe my expectations are too high, but I want my life to be full of all kinds of passion (not just sexual, although I want that to be part of it too), I want to be with someone who DESIRES intimacy with me as much as I desire it with her. Marriage just doesn't seem to be worth the price without passionate intimacy.
