When you aren't sleeping in the same bed or room with your W, it's a concession. From your answer, I'm assuming she said you will be sleeping in separate rooms.

Also as for the sexual contact, I'm going to have to say that the way it's relating to her past is pure BS. You've been together for 25 years. It's not like you're newlyweds. Right now your W is choosing to equate abuse with you. It's a choice.

Trust has to be rebuilt, but from her side. Let's face it. You've never abused her but for some reason she is choosing to paint you as the bad guy.

My suggestion would be to do an activity together that increases the adrenalin and requires you to be interacting with one another. A ballroom dancing, tandem skydive or doubles tennis, etc. Just something.
