Grow up and discover what M is all about. If you put all of your self-worth into sex and that if you don't have it for a couple of weeks, you "feel alone", then M isn't for you.


I don't put all my self-worth into sex. I just know (and knew) it is important to me.

If I don't have sex more than a sexless marriage, I don't understand why Michele would write a book about dealing with it. I won't stay in a sexless marriage forever, if that helps.

You're right----it is too important to my well being and esteem and life is just too damn short. How long will I wait? 1 year? 4 years? I'm going to at least wait until she tries something new or tries counseling or anything to show me that she's trying, but I AM patient, the problem is I keep telling myself not to feel hurt by her when I truly feel hurt and alone and can't help it. You can't do that for years without changing completely. If that's the case, I'd like if she changed so she didn't need me to do the lawn anymore. That would be nice.

I'm going to read the book again. It feels like I'm being told I don't belong in a marriage because of how I feel sometimes instead of how I act to my wife all the time.
