Hi Bobby, I'm sorry I missed your thread earlier, and that you're having such a struggle. Can you tell me a little about where you and your wife seem to be not connecting? Yes, physical intimacy issues often stem from physical causes, but IMHO, it's more often caused by emotional disconnectedness. At least is sure was in my case.

Tell me about how the two of you communicate and how/if you've established new intimacy since you've been back in the same home. Have you had discussions about what has happened? What has she shared with you about her feelings about your M? What have you shared with her about the same? Remember that sex is the ultimate form of intimate communication. If you're not communicating well, and developing intimacy in other areas of your life, sex is rarely going to be successful. (Believe me, I've been there...and some days, I'm still there!) Hang in there - don't give up yet! FMV.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
