Well, first of all, I would suggest that you talk to a therapist about your situation. I'm not saying that you're "crazy," of course--just that you're obviously concerned and not happy with the way things are. A professional would be able to get more at the source of your situation and be able to offer ways that you can work on it.

I do think that women are just more emotionally attuned to each other. In fact, I've read that married women still do really need female friends for their emotional happiness...In fact, this statement might bring up some interesting dialogue, but I've heard that men give love to get sex and women give sex to get love. (I somehow thought that might be relevant here....)

I'm glad to hear that you and your husband are working on feeling closer. Are you two seeing a counselor together?

Maybe some other people will chime in soon. Hey, people, someone else help out here! Thanks!
