Sadak,

I've read and reread your thread 3 times. Figuring out what I want to say. Not to give offense. You seem to be a very sane, sensible person. Although I realize you only describe your feelings over the last two months, it seems that you, yourself are in emotional lockdown. You call it detachment, it seems to me to be repression. Not that everyone has to scream, cry and tear their hair out to be emotionally cleansed and detached; just that your thread sounds . . . . Cold. Yes, I can see where you might be an introvert, and that colors your emotions in regard to your marital situation.

Question: Would you and/or your wife consider counseling?
