I just keep thinking of more things that I want to add to this.
I know that I'm too wimpy in confronting her about sex (and probably lots of other things as well), but all of the issues I mentioned in the first long post play into that. I just HATE to criticize her. If I don't complain, nothing changes. If I do, she takes it as a personal attack - and I'm afraid that it will further erode her self-esteem and consequently frive her further away from me. That's why I've lasted for 28 years - I've always told myself that if I can drag her away from the miserable place that her parents left her, then just maybe she'll come around. I guess it's just that we're both getting older and I'm beginning to feel like time and my life are slipping away. That's what's driving me to confront things now.
