Hi Essie, I briefly read through your thread & you've been given some great advise. You have made wonderful progress, with making your H feel comfortable and becoming friends.

It seems that you are stuck in the friends stage dance. Do you feel you take 1 step forward & the you have sex & you both take 1 step back?? That is what I see. (Probably, your H taking 1 step back 1st).

If you decide on a R talk, ask yourself what is your goal?? Is it to find out where he is at? Are you detached enough to put the D question on the table??

How about setting a no sex boundary??? And seeing where that takes you???? Just some thoughts.
