Accuray, Thank you for your interest in my sitch. I had been away from this site for some time (turns out it was about a year), I faded away from this forum and took some time to read and focus on improving myself instead of feeling like I was just complaining. I came back because I was having a bad day and needed some perspective.
After reading through my old thread, Trying Again, I was happy to find that I am not in the same place that I was a year ago. My relationship is still far from what I would like it to be, I still experience many of the same frustrations, and occassionally the angry and hurt feelings but I can honestly say that I have been working on it.
As the LD partner, I feel that I am in the minority here but I hope that by posting others can understand that the LD partner isn't necessarily being manipulative or mean; there may be others like me who feel hurt or dissapointed or just don't know how to be the partner that the hd partner wants them to be. It sounds like you have a pretty good understanding of this in your own relationship and I sincerely hope you and your wife can find a way to engage in the intimacy you are seeking.
