Thank you Michele for writing this book. I think it is a book that will be appreciated by many. Having been this wife for too long, I am highly aware of the lack of resources out there dealing with this topic.
I've only written one other post, but it contains a brief history of our marriage. My H's lack of desire has been present a long time. Actually, I knew on our honeymoon that things weren't right. Even at that point, H had less desire than me.
You ask what problems it creates... A multitude. It has been the most on-going, hurtful experience of my life. His affairs with OW just compounded the problem. It is something I'm continually working to get past. Right or wrong, I interpret his lack of interest as REJECTION. Because of this, I am left to feel undesireable and less than pretty, even though I'm continuously told how pretty I am.
My H's rejection has caused me to doubt myself and my confidence level has been underminded. It seems an ever present battle. So hard to overcome or ignore. It has definitely been a huge factor in who I've become.
In talking to other women who've experienced this, I realize that I am not alone in my emotions. It is a huge thing and most certainly a worthy topic for a book.
