I could sob my heart out ( again, like I do most nights) because you are describing exactly the same situation that my husband and I are going through. Like you we have a wonderful relationship in every other way, he's my best friend but we haven't had a sexual relationship for years. The only time it was ever good was when we were trying to have children and since then nothing. He says he is happy in every other way but it is killing me not having a husband that will touch me. He just can't bring himself to as I'm his wife and it just feels wrong.....We haven't tried conselling and to be honest I don't think I want to go through that, it is painful enough already without having to discuss it with someone face to face and to hear the complex put into words. If he doesn't want to make love to me then I can't see how a counseller can change that. Like your wife I don't want to leave as we are very close but equally the thought of having a life without a sexual relationship, never to experience passion .....I don't know if I can endure that for much longer either. I'm hoping that something may have happened with you and your wife since your post that would magically have made a difference. Please let me know if anything has changed. It is no fun at all being a Madonna. I feel totally alone, totally.
