My husband and I got into an argument this weekend about intimacy. I have not been able to have sex in a long time. The last time we did I had a violent rage attack the next day. Needless to say I would prefer to wait until I get a little farther along in my therapy.

So he ignores me through a whole day and the next day claims it is intimacy issues. This made me so angry because there are more ways to be intimate then just sex. When I go to kiss him he turns his face, when I go to hug him he stands stiff, when I go to touch him he walks out of the room. So, I pointed this out and said he has as much intimacy problems as I do. He sarcastically denied it. Of course we all know that I am the sick one, the one with a diagnosed mental illness, so he finds it very conveinent to lay all of our problems off on me so he does not have to take the uncomfortable responisiblity for the part he plays in our relationship.

I hear what you are saying and commiserate with you,
