Neither do I, but for some women it becomes a way of being. There is no repair or reprieve.

For example, one of my sins that has *caused* a lack of trust is the answer to the following question: "Can and will you be truthful in all situations?"

I answered "No." That was entirely truthful because I know there are times and circumstances where the truth is brutally honest and can be very hurtful under the circumstances. I've explained that answer and she hears something else. But for her that extends to everything and its just another reason to not be intimate, sexually or otherwise.

It would be one thing if that question pre-dated her withholding of sexual intimacy. That question came two years after she chose not to be sexually involved with me. That was 14 years ago (and the question was asked 12 years ago).

For me, its just "easier" for me to see it as the result of menopause.

An interesting outgrowth of my personal GAL and dropping 60 pounds is the following question: "Who have you met?"

My answer was "No one. Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I've met myself once again."
