Hi MojoMischief

My wife has been to the doctor and was told that her hormones are non-existant and that her only hope to regain any form of sexuality is HRT -she will not undergo this process for any reason.

She has also tried various herbal remedies with no luck. She refuses to go to a counsellor/sex therapist or other professional on this matter as she strongly believes they are not to be trusted for the most part. We have had many discussions on this topic fo about 4 or 5 years and about 5 years ago I gave up trying to battle her on this - the upset and indignation on her part over these episodes would carry on for weeks and months on end and was not worth the loosing battle.

She is totally set on her view that she is just fine and this situation is the norm because her mother, her sister and virtually all of her friends are in this state. Any arguements to the contrary, in her strong view, are just insensitive and that I need to deal with my sexual and touch needs on my own. We have covered this topic hundreds of times - sounds a lot like Michele's book doesn't it?

I am therefore trying to come to terms with whether I am really capable of facing a sexless/touchless existence from now on, whether it is possible (as a "HD" person) to love a ND spouse, or whether I should move on if there is no change in the situation. I am interested in the comments of the form readers as to whether it really is possible for a "HD" spouse to truly love, without a certain degree of resentment, a ND spouse.
