It's been a little over 3 months since we made love and now she won't even let me touch her bare skin.


Because she doesn't feel a connection with you anymore. That doesn't mean it can never return again.

3 months is nothing in this type of situation. This didn't break overnight, and it won't fix overnight either.

Don't discount YOUR luggage that you carry around. What seems miniscule to you, could be very large to her.

You have to open yourself up to examine those things, and understand them at the most simplest of levels. Ask yourself if YOU would want that in a partner.

Then find out WHY you were like that...

I have truly forgiven her for going outside our marriage...she knows this. I am humble and I am not looking to even the score..I'm just trying to find out if she truly wants to be ROOMATES with no hope of a marriage again or something more. I guess the answer is time and patience.


If you ask her today, her answer will be no, she does not want that.

Does her answer define who you want to be ?
