Quote: I became fused in the mother role and lost touch with my sensuality.
Even though I'm self-identified HD, I can relate to this on too. I think this is part of the reason, I was able to deal with too little sex for so long. Because I made the kids my top priority, I wasn't able to take a strong stand on the sex issue. Now that they are older and less in need of my attention, the sex issue has moved up from a weak #2 priority to a strong #2 priority in my marriage. The empty nest seemed to loom near as my youngest approached her 13th birthday and I started trying to imagine a life alone with my H and the life I imagined sucked. I either had to take action or become a WAW.
CeMar,
Why don't you ask your wife how she pictures your life together when the kids are grown and it's just the two of you? Why don't you explain to her that if things don't change you will probably be a WAH at that point?
