Ripken - Trying LRT and going dark. Now what?

[Ripken8]

I notice my wife starting to act with me a little more and I'm trying to recognize those interactions as positives. For example she approached me and said that she felt her ass was starting to sag and was sad about that. I think she has an amazing figure but knowing sex and anytype of intamcy with me is a trigger I restrained myself. Instead of anything I made a joke of saying her saying that is like looking up at the Sistine chapel and complaining about cracks. She found it funny. But then back to the distance. I'm starting to realize and understand she needs to do this on her own and I need to do work on my own. The tough thing is I took my marriage vows seriously and want to be a partner for her and pull her through this even though I know being a good partner right now means she needs her time and space and I have to respect that
