While this is a super forum to share our concerns in, nothing beats sharing our stories with a real live human being.

True. Once I brought this subject up with some of my best friends, we had some VERY frank discussions about our respective marriages.

Apparently, I'm not the only one papering over a cracked foundation.

Sham's Law #1: Everything in life is simple. First you figure out what you want. Second, you figure out how to get it. Third you do it. The first step, unfortunately happens to be the hardest.

Hi richfairy72
The people here are offering good advice. You may have caught your counsellor 'on the hop' but, I'm from the UK and last summer I found myself speaking to a counsellor through work and like you I was just going to 'tick the box' but I was soon taken aback by the points she made (actually she was pretty tough with me at times) and her advice has stayed with me to this day.
Stay the course (in every sense); you are amongst friends here and, personally, I thought my unhappy sexless marriage was just down to me right up to the moment I understood what was really going on and after that sudden realisation nothing was the same.

This the "Shoutbox" -- basically a site-wide, group chat. (It's only visible to members.)

mirrororchid: We've compared denier/refuser spouses to prison wardens. Dr. Psychmom has compared them to hostage takers and the unhappy spouse has Stockholm syndrome. Prisoners can't leave. Stockholm hostages don't because they want a good outcome for the captor. Sept 10, 2024 18:54:11 GMT -5

mirrororchid: Heard on a podcast: "Dating is where we present our best selves. Vulnerability is the opposite. Where we risk our partner knowing things that are imperfect. This is the way to forge the life partner bond." Sept 10, 2024 19:17:03 GMT -5
