Knowing that he is only in this for the kids and fear, do we have hope? How can he say he doesn't want a D but not willing to work on it. I feel that I am a broken record here. I am really losing my Mind over this. The confusion is killing me


AM, honestly I don't know why you are confused. From the recent conversation you had with him, he's clearly telling you he can't work on m now. He can't even think about being intimate with you because he's so beyond mad and resentful. There's nothing to read here IMO. He needs time and period. I've felt and wondered many times I know I hurt him but people hurt. I hurt through this m but I got over it. Why can't he do that same? Apparently the pain caused from sex rejection for men is so much deeper and more painful than we can ever imagine.

I know I'm in the same situation as you are but the man is kinda right. He's suffered this for 10 years and it's only been 6 months so you have to be patient. I honestly believe now is not that time for us to tell them we "suffered too"

By the way, why do you two keep having all these conversations now? Is it part of RetroV thing? or are you initiating the conversations because you want answers?
