[QUOTE="bran155, post: 241055"] I couldn't begin to put into words how much all of your support means to me. You all have lifted my spirits and opened my mind to the possibility that my husband just might be telling the truth when he says he has just lost his sex drive. Thank you so much. I am sure I play a HUGE part (again, no pun intended) in this. My own self perception is so horrible right now, I just keep blaming myself. I guess I do believe that the sw backed him into a corner and he just wanted her to leave him alone. He was extremely embarassed. I do believe he is in a sort of blanket depression. He has been for quite some time. That could be it. A few years ago, I went through this as well. He wanted to be intimate and I didn't. I expected him to understand that it was just something I was going through. Now, why can't I accept that from him? I guess it's because he is a guy and by societal standards men are supposed to be nymphos. It is unusual to come across a 31 year old man who doesn't want sex. I guess it's not worth throwing my marriage away. It's not as though he ever disrespects me. He never makes me feel ugly, he doesn't belittle me, ever. In fact, it is the opposite. He always tells me that I am beautiful. I just have such a hard time with the rejection. It feels like rejection even if it isn't me that he is actually rejecting. Ya know? We had a pretty good day today. We talked and laughed a lot. I am glad we are going to stick it out. He seems to be as well. He actually got really good news today. He got a great job offer to be a sales manager with a great salary and much room for advancement. He took it. He still didn't mention sex though!!!! lol That's okay, I am still freaking out about the critter crawling up my leg last night!!! lol Star: Thank you for telling me that story about your HOT MAMA friend!!! She sounds like a hoot. :) As always you all have made me feel so much better. Now if one of you would like to come by and get my daughter and her belongings - that would be great!!!! lol She is driving me nuts!!! Shawna :) [/QUOTE]
