During my online searches, I stumbled across the work of Susan Anderson, who wrote this book, The Journey From Abandonment to Healing.

m.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-journey-from-abandonment-to-healing-susan-anderson/1117225145?ean=9780425273531

I got the book, and I see a lot of myself in it. When my guy started refusing, "abandoned" is exactly how I felt.

So, maybe this book will help someone else.

He abandoned me in our sexless marriage of 14 years and he cut me to the bone when he asked me for a divorce. Looks like a good book as far as self help books go. Thanks for the link.

My library network has it, will be taking a look.
	We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one.

Sounds like a GREAT read @smartkat!

A couple of years ago I read "Having sex, wanting intimacy. Why women settle for one sided relationships". I not only FOUND myself in this book, but I recognized a few other women as well.

and she's located near me in the Washington DC area. OMG I had no idea until just now!

Just uploaded to my Kindle! Her other books look really worthwhile too - There's also a companion workbook for this book - might have to go pick it up.

Thanks @smartkat!
