Quote: As someone who no longer "feels" pain when his spouse rejects him
But do you magically feel no longer horny too? On a couple of my better, more rational, less feeling-the-pain days recently, my H has rejected me and I haven't felt emotionally upset but I've still felt like someone with a healthy, horny body who is missing out on one of the joys of living. Probably I need to get to the place where this is my consistent reaction as opposed to weepy, neediness and finally take action like the example in Schnarch and tell my H "I reeeeeeeeeally want to get laid tonight. I'll be at the bar down the street if you decide to get in the mood.".
