I wish I could assuage many of your assertions that if only WAW had spelled it out...if only we had discussed that the ship was sinking...then we could have done something about it.
I understand that your sitch is different, but I think I know myself well enough to know that if it had been in plain (i.e., Smiley's Person-comprehensible) English, we would have done something about it.

SP, you proclaim that your marriage was providing as little to you as it was to her.
No, I didn't say that. I said I've become aware of the fact that I was ignoring my own dissatisfactions, in part because I expected that, in Normal Life, there would be ups and downs, peaks and valleys. But they were not the Stuff of Divorce in any event.

You were unsatisfied...and what did you do about it?
No, again -- I was dissatisfied. And I mentioned it. Repeatedly.
Quote:
The WAW and the LBS are firing at moving targets.
That's a very good way of putting it, apropos of nothing. Excellent.
Quote:
My point is that we "try" in different ways
A very good point.

I have to say that W being bored during foreplay is pretty depressing for her too and that she would say it is just awful but then again, we are chiding her for NOT communicating enough too.
