Becca, thanks for the post. IME, most women are this way.
It takes time and intimacy to bring them out of it.
CEMAR
certain things are NOT compromisable. And believe me, I have lowered my needs to the absolute lowest level possible (probably lower then most men would actually tolerate).
Well apparently with you they are compromisable. You lowered your needs. I have said you cant do that, I have said the mans mental state controls the R. So you have allowed this. Understandably you dont like it, and dont know how to undue it. The easy way out is as your peer group has done. Im personnally tired of hearing about the 'success' of these marital failures, from you. If thats what you want to do then go do it. If its not then quit letting there poison into your brain.
There are success stories here, but you are unwilling to emulate there patterns.
I understand you dont hate your W, and indifference is the opposite of love. When are you going to start loving your W? She is your mirror. She is going to reflect you. If you were truly confidant you would know your W wants you. She is not LD. I am starting to reallly dislike these identifiers. Some of the HD men here I consider LD.
What happens with sex starved men, they become iritiable and unhappy
You said your W would have sex whenever you wanted. Granted this is different then enthusiastic partners, but your SS state is your choice.
originally, she was VERY physical with me, she was atletic, she was intelligent, she was sexy, and she was very likeable
She still is all these things, just not in response to the current manifested Cemar.
