Hey EM,

That's a great post. For the first 5 years of my M, my W complained about me not "participating" in her life but I didn't "hear" it until recently. it might be too late, but at least she figured out a way to cope and stay married (though it was by becoming a roommate). It's weird that we have various points in which we gain understanding. I'm pestering my W these days over the sex...I might loose steam and retreat like she did 10 years ago. But when she turns 40 or something, this stuff might make sense to her. I feel like I owe her some years before I give up. A few months ago, I was afraid it was "all or nothing" but I think, if things stop improving, that I'll just go back to doing my own thing and not "participating" and find my own coping technique.
