Hey flowers and a kiss (not to mention he remembered without being told )! What a good way to start out your day.

Maybe you need to look at this as he's taking a vacation from being intimate with you. He still loves and cares for you but trying to "take care" of you - and him at the same time is just overwhelming. This is what I've been thinking is going on with my H. He's drowning (not literally - although there are times I've thought about helping it become literal ) and if he reaches out to connect with you in "that way" he will go totally under.

I know I'm no good at it either but just enjoy what he is able to give at the moment. If he's this way for 2 years but comes back to what he use to be like - won't it be worth the 2 years?

I don't have the "impending doom" fear (although I have had it in the past). Now, it feels more like we will "go through time" just talking on the phone and getting together and being friends. Not how I want to spend the rest of my life. I want someone I'm connected with fully ... not part way. But, like I said I think they are trying to save "their souls" and can't give anything more to us at this time in their lives. Hopefully - it won't be forever - but unfortunately just not any time soon.
