I have another question. I keep reading to give him space, physical and emotional. He asked me to 'back off' on the hugs and I love yous so I won't get hurt...not because it was bothering him. As I stated earlier, one of our problems was lack of intimacy and that we had lost that original feeling. So, do I abandon the idea of making sure he knows I love him and want to be with him?

Last week I had begun the Love Dare before I found this book. Should I stop that even though it follows one of our issues?
