Also, for the record, I do appreciate your help, GG & Starsky, et al. I do. I'm 99% of the time ok--------it's only when I think about sex or come here to think about the situation that it's a problem and I feel frustrated and scared. I can't pretend I'm not afraid the ultimate result could be that she wants a sexless marriage and I would have to leave because sex is too important to me. I can admit that sex is that important to me, but I can't pretend I'm ok labeling our divorce as a result of me simply wanting sex more than a sexless marriage by definition. All of a sudden I'm the bad guy if that's what happens------"he left me because I wouldn't have sex with him as much as he wanted" is what it feels like.
