Quote: I am finding myself wanting to resume our sex life, now that the grief is subsiding from those first clutches. But I am feeling pressured to go back to being happy-go-lucky first. There is a feeling in me that I can't be myself, whatever 'myself' is on any given day, because I have to maintain the Cheerful Persona or he will continue to ignore me.
Oh (((((honey)))), this is what it comes down to for so many of us, isn't it... we're stuffed into a box or a role and aren't allowed to grow or change...
