I will be leaving the BB for a while. I've come to the place where I refuse to live like this any longer, no matter what. It sometimes seems like I'm losing my mind. (Have fun with that one!) I need to do some praying about what to do and how to do it.
Thanks to all who have joked with, advised and insulted me. (Special recognition goes to MM on that last part. ) The things you've written have really helped me.
Good luck to all. I'll think of each of you as a friend.
Even through all of the teasing, we understand how you feel and why. I've been silent several times( I know that's hard to believe) but I neede some space from all the chatter and situations other than my own. If you feel that this forum has something to offer to you at a later date, come back.
I've often felt like leaving too but this site sort of feels like "floaties". At some point, this will become old-hat and the insights will become fewer and farther in between at the same time, I will be more confident in my abilities and able to manage without help. But I'm not that confident yet.

Thought I did my last post on this board last night until I read that you're leaving the board. I wish you well. IMHO, I believe that your desire for a fulfilling sex life and for your wife to fulfill your sexual needs is reasonable and normal (and I say that not only as a woman, but as an evangelical Christian woman albeit a "baby" Christian still). Hopefully, prayer and perhaps talks with your wife and trusted friends and acquaintances (and/or maybe your pastor or counselors) will bring this to resolution. There's always hope.
