Thanks again you guys for your kind words and support!
 It's nice to be able to just say whatever.  I explained it as simply as I could to my daughter...basically just what you said P7, mummy isn't well but she loves you, it's not you, it's her and we need to help her. I asked her if she understood and she told me back in her words, so yeah, she gets it.  Yesterday was a lot better, she actually came to me on the couch and cuddled, I know it doesn't sound like much, but to me it's huge. I know it's her kinda going through the motions, because she doesn't need the intimacy, but she did it because she loves me and knows I need it, which is really cool. Thanks again guys! God Bless! |

Ihateit, you have really grown and progressed! You are doing excellent work and because of it, you and your wife are going to move through this and there will be great things ahead! (And actually, one of the best things to learn is to see the great things of today too!)............

And you're right, when she does things that let me know she does love me, and everything is ok, without me asking or saying a word, it's great! I notice them more each day. I promised to not ever take her or ous for granted again...

Wow, just reading what you've been going through makes me yearn for my husband to do the same thing - keep his distance! He thinks that by being even MORE affectionate, insisting on hugging, kissing, cuddling (which in his world leads to sex) is what will make our marriage better.
He has no clue. It's great to see that some people understand, even though it's painful, that space is needed... __________________ Don't follow the path that lies before you. Instead, veer from the path - and leave a trail...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
