"Sexual satisfaction, romance and passion, good conversations, time spent truly 'being' together, are sort of rolled up into one for me. Even though at times I'm able to compartmentalize, it's what I want all together. And very possibly it's what your W meant." I think that's right. As you can see in my message above, I told your advice and did what you suggested. It felt great, though risky, but I felt genuine. She corrected my use of the word sex with imtimacy, and so I think it is all of what you say.
She just seems to give up on me, in a way I don't want to give up on her. She can't seem to allow herslf to find her way back, to come together again to go forward, not back.
I don't want to sleepwalk through our marriage, but apparently she doesn't believe me.
