Quote: Anyways... holy macaroni... after reading this thread and reading A TON in PM over the weekend about self-validated intimacy vs. other-validated intimacy and wondering how I'm gonna "get there"... HP and MM are saying that, even after PMing their H's over and over, they still have occasional issues with self-validated intimacy! Are we HDs doomed to live in cycles? Can we ever be happy for more than a few days? *sigh*
Chris, I absolutely have the same fear. After seeing these tireless warriors work SO patiently and diligently on their clashing libido'd marriages, I often wonder how there would be ANY hope for mine, even if I WERE to begin challenging my wife again, which I'm not (for now).
It's just not worth the aggravation, only to STILL have it all screwed up.
