I haven't mentioned the sleep sex to the dr. A couple of close friends know. It has never been a problem in past relationships but I can obviously see how it can be devastating when it happens at times like this.

I know I am clingy and needy. I always have been. I'm not sure I know any other way to be.

I do need IC, but my GP won't refer me as he say I am too unwell for it t the minute (damn the NHS!).

I am very co dependent, I am working on my confidence and independence. As I am no longer a naturally confident person when I try to act confident I come across as cocky and an assh*le.

How should I deal with the requests to earn her back? I get the feeling that she jut wants me around to cook and clean and take care of the kids so she can go and do her own thing.... Matching this against me being selfish for wanting to workout or see friends is making me wonder.

We have just eaten dinner, and she spoke to me about our R (I just listened). She said that what he wants at the minute is a perfect father for our kids and an attentive husband, who is secure enough not to worry where she is or who she is with. She also then said that although she wants me to sleep in our be together, she can't ever imagine wanting sex with me again.
