Talking On the plus side: sexless no more!!

Hi,

I just wanted to give quick update and extend my thanks...

I had posted a lot of long stuff about my sexless marriage, etc. After a lot of talking and trying, my husband and I are back on track. For the record the problem was simply that while circumstances (child in bed mostly) had prevented us from partaking, he had gotten accustomed to masturbating and watching porn (only occasionally) as a substitute and had fallen into a convenient routine that he was pretty content with. When I finally put my foot down about not getting any, we talked a lot and tried, but he had some performance anxiety issues getting back into the swing of things.

We haven't exactly gotten a weekend away together or anything yet, but have gotten back into the comfortable and mutually satisfying sex we had before all this trouble started and have no reason to think that won't only improve.

We had other minor issues of bickering, etc but we seem to be on a good path. My husband even found a GREAT website that has an emotional needs questionnaire which we both took and saw just how close we really are. He has also said he would like to go to a marriage retreat sometimes.

So I am feeling good about everything right now and just wanted to say a TREMENDOUS THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR INSIGHT AND SUPPORT! I CAN'T EXPRESS HOW HELPFUL IT WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
