Quote barneyfife "I think this is a point that many LDs miss. The lack of sexual connection causes love to die in the HD."
I don't find this myself Mike. My own take on it is that different emotions are involved and stay separate. It took me a couple of weeks to fall in love with my W (I asked her to marry me after only three weeks) and those loving feelings have never left me or indeed, diminished. The lack of sexual connection causes other emotions; frustration, longing, neediness etc. to enter the mix but the background love remains the same.
