Quote: I have told him before that I feel like he has left me.
I like that. It really describes how I feel - that there's a wall, that I can only get so close before being pushed away. For me, as a HD person, it's important to keep cuddling and keep spending time together even though we haven't had sex for over 6 years and rarely in the last 18 years. But even with this conscious effort to stay as close as we can without sex, we only get as close as we can without sex. It does feel like she left me 18 years ago.
