Ouch. Excuse my constant male attempts to find a simple solution. This must be really difficult. And I haven't found a solution in my marriage either.

For the most part, any attempt I make to initiate is seen as a crime against humanity. She's now in therapy, and she's become very open to cuddling that's not going to lead too far. Anything passionate, including any kind of interesting kissing, is out. And frankly, I'm not sure I could take passionate kissing if it never leads to sex.

Yeah, it would be funny in a movie. It's less funny in real life.

But she's agreed to counseling, she and her counselor have picked out a sex therapist, and eventually we'll start working on that aspect. In the meantime, I am trying to learn what I can to apply later...
