Just read your post. As a newcommer and a supposed LD who is looking for a better understanding of what drives a HD (so the tag drew my attention to this thread). I commend you. This post has been the most honest straight foward least pragmatic and justifiable in its lack of trying to self justify by lacing love and sex and self worth as one and the same issue. You have address two seperate beast that dwell in the same cave. Which was highly refreshing to see the truth plan blunt straight truth put out there. Thank you
The only advantage that you forgot to mention regaurding a room mate. If you are a perfectionist and they are a slob you can tell them to leave without the emotional baggage and cost of telling your spouse this.
