Well this morning I think our councillor came close to zero-ing in on problem with us taking our relationship forward.
Over the past several years my W has built up several coping skills that have helped her deal with the "depressed" state that she had been it. Some of those skills and behaviors have now blocked her from letting go enough to let me in.
We have now began a path to try and reestablish intimacy through some techniques that she has given us. I believe this is a very positive step and within minutes my W felt relief and came to me for a hug and a kiss.
One thing that I found interesting that the councillor said was that most people in my situation would not be sitting there in her office after all this. She said that most men in particular do not have the determination and strenght to accept the turmoil that my W is going through.
After the session my W said that she was so proud of me for what I was doing.
