Okay. I'm sure she will have some valuable insight for you as well. You are definitely dealing with a very tough issue. I suppose in some respects, I am fortunate in that that portion of my R hasn't been "cut off"...although, and since this is where the conversation seems to heading, I wonder to what degree any intimacy is only truly an appeasement of my needs from my W. This has been bugging me as of late. Somehow I get the feeling that its not that she really, really wants to engage in any intimacy, but that is is "expected" of her. Sure, its nice to have the immediate needs met, but having that feeling is NOT fun in the least.
