fear of intimacy

This is an update from my thread about my marriage to my husband. I am not putting it in "Divorce and Separation" because we have decided not to follow thru with divorce.

We had a talk Saturday.

The issue, we realized, wasn't about the way things were with my friend and me.

Actually, I was avoiding my husband because I was having trouble letting him in emotionally.

It is so hard for me to make it known to him how much I love him. I feel so vulnerable.

so, that's why I've been hagning out more with my friend instead of him.

Not because I care about him more, but becasue I was afraid to get close to my husband.

I do hope that the two of you can work things out. I use to be that way with my ex. With the man in my life now, I do show my feelings. I know it can be so hard to show that part of you.

I am glad to hear that you are guys are going to try to make it work. I hope it really does, go for it and put yourself out there. Love can be great and I think that it would be great for you.

thank you.

I'm learning that it's very difficult to have a close relationship with anyone if you can't be open with them. I hope that you and your husband are able to work through this and find that you are comfortable enough to open up to each other with everything.
