I realize that you are in a much different place that I am, having dealt with an extended SSM. However, at only 5 months without sex with my wife, I have asked myself if I can feel brave enough and comfortable opening up my soul and vulnerability to rejection again. Part of my "fear" is that I have not yet seen any actions that would document a change on the part of my LD wife. I have heard some recent words, but seen no physical actions from her that indicate a willingness to treat me differently.

I would appreciate it if you could share a little more about what you are thinking and why you are "not so sure."

Thank you and good luck in your care giving role.


>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
