I have spent the last hour or so reading this entire post. I have been DBing for about a year and a half. My H never left or had and affair or anything. Just drifted away and became angry and distant. 6 months ago he discovered he had a hormone imbalance. Since he started the medication he has become a different person. Much less irritable, more loving at times and much more into sex. Unfortunately there are other problems that have surfaced with his renewed sexuality. We have had to work through some things that I would never have anticipated. What we are left with is a marriage where he sleeps on the couch because he has difficulty sleeping and can watch tv without waking me. I go to sleep early because I am tired after working and dealing with house and kids. We have moments of great sex but little else in terms of intimacy. Add to this the fact that I started a new job and he is trying to launch a business. He thinks things are better but I can't seem to stop feeling sad and lonely. We rarely have the several day fights we once had and we do have moments of laughter and talk. He is getting pretty tired of my moodiness. Does this make any sense to anyone? How do I get him to reconnect with me and start creating those rituals? Am I asking too much to soon? I am exhausted. Thanks for your help.
