Hi Chrome... Good to see that your painful depressive episode had led to some clarity. I was so moved from your post because I imagine that these were some of my H's feelings when my kids were small...which of course were not expressed to me. We, too, avoided dealing with the lack of intimacy for waaay too long...it does not get better if you don't confront it. I admire your efforts to get your marriage to a healthier place and I am glad that the immediate crisis is over.
