Virginia:

In a word, no. All the conditions she mentioned then were resolved (e.g., I was in the middle of a job search after they closed our office, return to steady income, doing more stuff around the house), so they obviously weren't the reasons.

She has never given a reason other than "I get to say." She never has wanted to talk about it and to her, it must seem perfectly "normal."

Since there was no threat associated with our previous discussions ('if no sex, then....), there has never been any compromise or her part. I had not really thought about this until yesterday, but there are OCD characteristics that keep coming back(she has some sort of viral infection with a high fever and I was home with her and some of what she "insisted" upon yesterday is not at all rational).

Maybe I'm just the only guy that has stuck around....

Her first husband didn't.

Neither did her second.


I realize this discussion has kinda hijacked this thread. So, in answer to the first poster (goalie). You can take it.

I have...for 13 years. If I can, you can. I understand that you don't want to.
