We slept together every night for 30 years, and were VERY physical! In my IDIOT mind, how does that = lonely??????? Heck, SHE was the one that never wanted to do anything with me, but I was happy because of the sex. How the hell was I supposed to know she needed "words"??????
tony,
you say that she expressed to you many times over the years that she was going to leave you and you never took it seriously. Does that not say anything?
tony you could easily go find someone to have sex with every night of the week...would that really be enough for you? would you be happy? is that all you wanted from your w? is that all you needed from your w? I'd hope it was just a part of it. On some level I believe you knew that, you just didn't know what else to do..same as my h knows I want more physical intimacy but instead of giving me that he clears the table after dinner...sure it's great and I appreciate it and try to get the message but it would be so much better if instead he put his arms around me while I did the dishes.
