One thing that always bothered me about my H (and others, too), is that he considered my PMS or perimenopausal symptoms, whichever was happening at the time, to be the cause for my unhappiness or anger or whatever. The truth is that the problems were there before the symptoms. The hormonal fluctuations only tend to "highlight" the problems more and maybe also give us less emotional control how we handle our feelings.
As far as emotional intimacy vs. physical intimacy, you know the answer to that, my friend. If you truely want the physical part to someday be as important to your W as it is to you, you need to nurture the emotional part first. It sounds like you're on your way. Take it easy. It's worth the wait!
Thanks for your post on my thread. Please ready my reply. I have a question for you in there. I've reached 100 over there. Maybe now it's time to move my carcuss over here!!
