My wife and I attended a session in Jan. Initially, was very excited about opening those communication channels. Seemed to give hope. Slowly fell back into old habits after 1 month. I think both parties need to want and be able to change. As you have pointed out, I'm still on this board. I've gone back to a celibate lifestyle, as it is less painful to me, rather than to be always wanting affection, intimacy (true love) from my partner. I did awaken to the fact that we are different, have different needs etc. I've gotten more sensitivity about these issues on this board, rather than attending the ME. I still say: what have you got to lose?? Try it, perhaps it will be the push in the right direction for you.
