I want to be able to talk to my partner about anything. For instance, if we have an issue with s*x, then we should be able to talk about it, not ignore the problem. I don't want to be controlled, but be a full partner in the R. I want to be able to snuggle when I want (or, he wants) or not, and not have it be a bit issue if I don't want to.
I want my partner to be interested in me and the things I do, as I am with him and what interests him. I just want to matter.

... and I want to have fun with my H. I want to laugh again, like I used to. Nothing ever used to get me down, and I want that person back, and I am working hard to that end (whether H comes along with me, or not).
I try and dance everyday now. I put music on, and just prance around the living room. Or, I use the Wii dance cd. It gets my mood up so much.

Has there been a time recently where you have got any of those things from him, even just a bit, even for a few minutes? If so, what was happening? How was it different than other times? How did you make that happen?
Well, he can't or won't talk about s*xual issues. And he has shown a teeny weeny interest in my schooling, but I thought it was just to make conversation. We were on the phone at the time. Generally, I just give him his space, and I am very detached.
I really don't think I matter to him, in a big way. We don't touch at all. And he hasn't shown any interest in doing so.
I don't care anymore.

Well, I don't care anymore in the way I used to. As WT says, I'm almost clinically detached. LOL

Being, I understand what you say about wanting to matter.
I think, in my case, that we were doing this high school thing of looking over our shoulders to see if the other person was watching.
I could not figure out how to break out of that. To a certain extent I think this game is still played as X always has a way of mentioning his achievements to me.

Hi WCW! The ship of life is still floating. I've been pretty busy with school, so not been on here for awhile. Not much has changed re M. H still the same, and I don't expect he will change soon, if ever.
Thanks for thinking of me. I should be starting a new thread, I guess, since this one has more than 10 pages.
