Birth order and sexless marriage

Sisters Smartkat and Rhapsodee, I can go along with your theory. I was the second youngest of 5, with a sister 6yrs older and a sister 6yrs younger. My mom had bad PN depression so I was pretty much left to fend for myself and didn't bother to ask for anything because it would just be dismissed. It grieves me more that this 'neglect' meant that I didn't develop many of the skills I needed to state what I wanted and what I needed, along with other key communication skills.

I've been pretty much like that in my marriage (wimpy, I know) - don't bother asking because it'll just be refused, dismissed or ignored. However, my eyes are slowly being opened to what I DO want and what I DO need... The fog is clearing and I can see further down the road...


And my W is the eldest!
