Quote:

Your sexual "problems" are a manifestation of much deeper issues. If you left, it wouldn't be for sexual reasons alone. If your husband adored you, treated you with unfailing kindness even when he was mad or unhappy with you, if he was a fountain of affection, and held up his end of the household basically no matter what... there wouldn't BE any sexual issues.






Okay, give me that guy's phone number and I'll file tomorrow. (I'm trying to be funny in a sad way here, not trying to be flip.)

Caring, feeling like you care, acting like you care-- NONE of these things is the same as fusion.




I do know this. I should have said that his "crushed" look made me feel like I care AND made me feel like I would be a bad person if I divorced him and the part where I felt like a bad person was the fusion.
