I have returned to read some and write a little. Have now been separated for about 1 3/4 years, but all is going well, especially with the help of an amazing Imago therapist. Get along quite well. I have hopefully stopped all controlling behaviors and she is learning to stand up for herself when need be. We still live apart but do many good things together and even spend intimate times together.
However, she still is reluctant to kiss and never mentions "love".
I was just wondering, from a woman's perspective, what precludes one from doing these important things? I don't even want to bring up the lack of these items, considering where we have been and how far we have come, but there must be some way to address these issues.
