GEL,

We were both grad students for the first year and a half of our marriage. I think the dynamic shift was focusing more on schoolwork than on on dating each other. I guess we both thought there would be more time for that later.

No, H does not want to MC. We tried a couple of sessions but he says they offered nothing different than what we have already tried. Dating again? Doesn't want to do it. Says it feels forced and wrong.

I AM absolutely heartbroken. I want to be lovers again, as this is the person I chose to be with for the rest of my life. I never thought that a marriage would end because of this.
