Z_Bube You know that is called detachment. Sounds like you are lovingly detaching instead of resentfully detaching but I think that is a slippery slope. Too much detachment will lead to indifference, death for a M. Why are you detaching? My educated guess is self-protection. Your mind (and body, obviously with the E problems) is not letting her get too close right now because of the history of rejection. My take on it is that you just need a break before jumping back into Marriage Improvement mode. As long as it is fairly short term, I don't see too much harm. Sort of like what Honeypot is experiencing now. Hopefully you will both find your way out fairly quickly.
