OK, while we're all doing chores to make our Acts of Service spouses feel loved, keeping the pressure off so they don't withdraw, and posting ironically funny messages on this board...
How do you handle the sexual frustration? Cold showers don't help, and they're cold. Running 5 miles does seem to lead to a level of release. Masturbation isn't all that interesting, or all that helpful, but it's the closest thing I have to sex.
It's not just sexual release, there are so many things to compensate for. I can compensate for not being touched to some extent by cuddling with my wife.
So - what do you do to hang in there and compensate for what you're not getting in sex while working on the relationship?
