    Yes, I do own my bitterness about our child situation but I feel at peace with all of that (the sex thing was way before that ever came along). Her lack of sympathy for me only gave me insight into her compassion for my feelings. I have a fought for every inch of intimacy that I have gotten in the last 17yrs. No I am not having sex consistantly but if I do its because I have had to fight for it. Yes I know most of it is pity and pacification but I have to live somehow. Reading the other posts here I would have some relief if my wife just told me she didnt love me,feel attracted to me or some other end all be all to the situation. If I had that I could at least go OK and a major choice could be made. The emotional and mental torture is what gets me. Thanks for the posts

    Welcome brother nclaw.



    Is it possible you are carrying some residual resentment about not being able to biologicly father a child, which is spilling over into an unconnected area (your ability to have sex). Just asking, because this is something YOU could work on.

    Her attitude is something only SHE can work on.

    Then, if you are BOTH of a mind, then you could BOTH work on the sex aspect.



    It seems from your story that she is not terribly keen on talking about it and ignores YOUR advice on the subject, and is resistant to talking to an outside objective person about it. It would seem that as long as this attitude persists, then so will the problem.



    Maybe its time for the two self interrogatives.

    1 - where do you want to be in 12 months time ?

    2 - what are you prepared to do to get there ?



    I gather that the "twice a month" frequency you refer to happens after a period of several moths with zip. A sort of 'pity ****'. If you are actually getting twice a month consistently, you might draw a bit of flak here. Might be best if you clarified that.



    Tread your own path.
