This is a real interesting perspective and probably points out differneces bewteen men and women. Even though my W shows no affection towards me, I would welcome ANY physical intimacy even if she wasn't emotionally committed. I can see how most women would feel like you do in this situation, however.

I have resolved myself to sticking it out for 'years' if needed. I have a daughter who is a freshman in High School, as well as 3 sons, and I feel like any kind of separation would be tragic for them at these formative ages. I keep thinking about that every time I think things are rough. It would obviously be easier to live with this if there was no prospect of an OM, since I feel like in that case we would have a chance to work on M/R at some point. I had been hoping she would drop OM on her own but it hasn't totally happened, and I feel like we have reached a crisis/inflection point where she will either leave in the next couple of months, or we will slip into a limbo state for a while until she 'wakes up'.
