When amicable makes you want to scream

[Mimi00]

Hi Muse, sorry you find yourself here, but welcome.
Underdog asked some great questions and gave good advice.
I can relate, my H and I are very "amicable", though we are starting to talk less and less. I want to yell and tell him what a jerk he is, instead I smile, validate, and never get angry. It's becoming more natural as I am more detached. You sound like you're headed in the right direction w/ looking at your self and the changes you can make with in, to be a better you. I will check back w/ your sitch, all the best to you on your journey!

My XH was like yours in a way that pretty much nobody else here seems to react: he also withheld sex from me. I guess it's kind of unusual but at the worst point in our R, he told our MC that he just couldn't have sex with someone he despised.

I can relate to this very much.
