Despite being in a SM and 2020 being a year most people would like to forget, there are things for which I am thankful:
1. My health is pretty good and getting better as I focus on self-improvement.
2. COVID-19 has made some people worse off financially and some people better off. I am thankful to be in the latter group (but I do feel sympathy for those in the former group).
3. Internet resources like ILIASM and Reddit Dead Bedrooms, both of which I found in 2020, have helped me see that I'm not alone in my SM situation. There are others that went through, are going through, and are in the beginning stages of what I'm experiencing. Knowing that I'm not alone and that there's nothing wrong with me has really helped my outlook. Realizing that the situation is not likely to get better and that I'm not a victim (no one is forcing me to stay) have also been eye opening realizations.
4. I'm starting to reconnect with people that I've lost touch with as I sort my sh!t out and those connections feel great.
Yes I'm in a sexless marriage, but I still have a lot to be thankful for. Hopefully you do too.
