Dear Aquarian,

Thank you so much for your support. I think you're right, it might be best if I start therapy alone. After all, I'm the one with more problems, and that way he can feel like I'm doing something, that should make him feel better. I suggested that to him last night, his words were 'by all means!'.

Yes, I've read 'The Sex Starved Marriage', it has helped me gain a lot of insight into my husband's side of the story. Sadly, like I said, I've tried everything in there, too, and nothing works for me. He has not read it yet, even though he has already tried most of 'his' approaches by himself. I'd like to get him to read it too, but he's a little reluctant, probably because that would fall into the 'I don't want to torture myself I'd rather just live in peace' category.

But maybe this further initiative on my part will inspire him.

Thanks again for your input! I really appreciate it.
