By giving up, you are giving your LD wife the DREAM marriage. Many LD's want friendship or companionship. This is what they love. She is love starved and does not know it. But you are giving her many of the things she needs, a man to help around the house, to help with the kids, help pay the bills. In other words, she is using you, just like my wife uses me. They get most everything they need, and they don't have to be physical. They WIN!!!
