I've just caught up with your sitch, and I am so glad for you, JV. Wow! We both seem to be getting this reaction from our H's at the same time. This is more or less what my H said to me last week. There must be something in the air.
I also realise that we have to continue DB'ing, and to be patient with our H's. I found myself biting my tongue several times this weekend, but still managed to bring up subject of OW. I have now decided I have to bite my tongue harder, and not worry about her anymore.
Intimacy was also a thing lacking in our R, so I understand where you're coming from, and have said similar thing to my H. I found, though, that they need to come around themselves, and not be reminded of their lack of intimacy. I still wait with bated breath on this one, so time will tell.
Good luck. Hope things continue to improve in your sitch, as I hope the same in mine, and everyone else here on the bb.
