Hairdog,

Did I read that correctly..... you just had sex for the first time since last September? Wow, and I thought I had it bad with my bi-monthly schedule. I didn't realize what a roll I'm on!

My Story

I think you were on vacation or something when I wrote my original thread a while back, so check it out if you want. You'll see that I did buy PM (at the urging of Tim47 and a couple others). I read the first couple of chapters, but haven't touched it since. Not because I didn't like it, in fact I think it made a huge impression on me. The enormity of my problem hit me, and I just didn't want to read about it for a while.

I do plan on reading it, but I'm curious if it's really working. For example, you say I have to read it, but has it helped you? If so, how? It doesn't seem to be frequency! I can't really tell if the people advocating PM are really getting a better sex life, or if they're just learning better ways to accept the crappy sex life they've got.

I've read SSM, and given it to my wife to read. She agreed and spent an afternoon reading the first chapter or two. It has sat, unread, next to her bedside ever since. Oh, well. How can a LD person not be affected by Chapter 1? I have no idea....

As for telling her I won't live in a celibate marriage, I totally agree. I'm working on how to address this.... I still love her and have no desire to leave, and no way am I leaving my kids (age 2 and 5). As you can probably tell, I don't know WHAT the hell to do. Which is why I'm here!

Paul - hoping not to be here forever....
