Thanks to both of you for the thoughts. Yes, Corri, it was a SOMEWHAT rhetorical question. But, as Jo understands, I am in a vulnerable spot. Going without sex for so long, it would be nice to know if all the parts still work, know what I mean?
I appreciate the advice though, especially from Jo only because we're so close in our situations, and has obviously had the same thoughts already.
I will check in later, and update on the conversation with my wife about the living situation. Just to disabuse you of a thought you have Jo, I don't get the sense that my wife cares about my living situation. I told her that I ned to get serious about it. If I hadn't said it, she wouldn't have cared, I don't think.
But I have a question for each of you:
Corri: I don't understand why you were so physically cold to your husband, I only know that you were. Can you tell me briefly what you leaned about the WHY?
Johanna: What thread of yours can you point me to so that I can learn more about your situation, since it seems to, like I said, parallel mine?
