Thanks for the input. Actually, I wasn't intentionally trying to hold on to myself until we had our C appointment, it just came out there. My feelings were hurt so badly that I was actually trying to gather my thoughts...which does sometimes take me a few days....so I would say EXACTLY what I meant to say, so I wouldn't get flustered...or lose my nerve. We would have had a discussion about our vacation within the next day or so regardless...it just so happened that our C asked a question which gave me the opening and I took it. Although, I will admit there was a certain amount of comfort being in her office when I did do this...as she was able to validate my POV and explain to him, in sometimes better terms, why I feel how I do....and even give him scientific reasoning as to some of the chemicals lacking from the fullfillment of a good sexual encounter with someone you love that I'm lacking...which leads to a loss of the emotional connection....which leads to, in the long run....the end of the relationship, which is what we are striving to avoid.
I'm a reasonable person...I know it will take repetition and persistence to get him to really understand....and for the most part I'm willing to do what it takes. But, I'm no different than anyone else...I hit my slumps too. I'm by no means giving up, or hopeless....just a bit battle weary and need to regather the troups.
