Sorry, I have to work sometimes, so I fall behind in my postings . I don't think that anybody would or should enter a "12-step" program to address a loss of sexual appetite, as the author of "Sexual Anorexia" is advocating. I'll continue my reading, just in case there is some helpful information in there.
Having said that, I do feel that there is something seriously wrong with our marriage. I realize that this last week has had fewer smiles and less laughter than previous weeks, in large part due to my irritation. I guess some people call this backsliding, but I think it is headed toward a crisis.
Hairdog, forgive me if I missed the post, but did you have that conversation with your W about not being willing to spend a celibate life? How did it go?
