Hi everyone. I need some help and not sure where to go. I'll keep my questions kind of short.

I need help dealing with suppress intimate feelings for my wife. We have been in counceling for about 3 months now and it turns out that my wife has shut down with me. Not because she doesn't love me, but from her past. At this point she has been dealing with issues all the way from her chieldhood. She also tells me and the MD agrees that the reason she has shut down with me is because she feels safest with me and that I will be here for her.

I want to be here, however I'm finding it hard to suppress my feelings and when I move tourds my wife, it pushes her away. So, what am I to do? I know this may sound selfish to somke of you, however I do want to be here for my wife, I do want to support her, but what about my needs???

Any advice would be great!

thanks,

Jay
