Hi Corri,

I’ve been reading other people’s posts but haven’t had much to contribute.

I was doing pretty good for a week. The last week has been tough, though. I’m just so fragile right now, easily sent into a tailspin.

The Paxil hasn’t kicked in yet, I don’t think. The idea of taking it at first gave me a boost but as I realize no matter how good I feel about myself or happy go lucky I become, my wife may simply no longer capable of romance, of feeling any passion. This realization is a sobering one. She has made it clear to me that is her position. There is always some stress, some problem, some reason why she can’t get closer. I haven’t even kissed her lips in like 6 weeks. I need her so bad.

The kid went to his uncle’s house over the weekend, which left us alone in the house, free to enjoy each other. Well, we had a nice evening but could go no further. When I caress her she gets kinda jumpy after a few strokes. It’s like my touch is repulsive.

I don’t know what the f@#% to think.
