Working on me and letting it play out

[Coconut]

Cbt, is there any touching at all with you two? I remember the first time my wife touched me in months was when we took her mom out to dinner, she put her hand on my leg and rubbed it a little, I put my arm around her and it was nice. Then nothing after we got home, and for days after. I then started little non sexual touches, like putting my hand gently on her arm for a few seconds, a short rub of her back while walking next to her, it took time but she slowly opened up to it.

Now things are starting to really move forward, it's amazing what waking her up in the morning with a nice back/body rub will do. We've now ML more in the last week than we did in the previous year. It still seems more physical than emotional, but it's been nice, I just have to continue building the emotional connection.
