Thanks for both of those posts Mama. As to the second one, I have said it before and it bears repeating now, 97% of what I post/vent about here never sees the light of day in my sitch. As far as W is concerned, at least by what I say (or DON'T say) and do, I don't even think about sex anymore. As far as she's concerned, I don't agonize over this daily. I am a relatively happy, surprisingly centered man through all this to her. I'm a rock at home. We don't have R talks, I don't really do much of the "little things" these days in terms of hinting at intimacy. I still buy flowers every other day and still do other "romantic" things that address her LL of receiving gifts but I have backed off the others stuff.
So I AM giving her space as much as possible when we live together and sleep together. That said, now my decisions get harder because I now have to figure out if she needs MORE space or a caveman club over the head...thanks...lol.
As for taking a break from here...maybe. Work is still REALLY slow and it passes my day to cruise around here but maybe you're right. We'll see what today brings.
