My family has been in this country before Texas was part of the US. So, I hate to tell you, we have been part of this country probably before your family came over on some boat.
Should have used more of that time learning proper English then.

So you have a "girl?" You give the impression that you are looking for someone.

So it was a low libido before you? Ive always wondered about this because it is stated so much. Could something have happened in the marriage, or work, or anything else that would have changed his libido from pre-marriage to post-marriage?
How did he 'hide' no libido...I just cant imagine having to do that.

Why not? Are you the one who has no place to go? I know how frustrating that can be.

He is a very convincing arguer so it is hard to get him to see that all of that internal anguish is actually a distraction to his productivity, not an essential part of it!
10:09 here. Here's the thing. Right now, his internal anguish is an essential part of it, because he's never learned another way. And because at this point his brain is kind of wired to experience these things--maybe he needs the stimulation of fear, anxiety to allow him to get beyond the barriers of self-doubt and be creative. The issue is that it is soul-killing for your marriage. Perhaps if he understood the real impact on you, that it damages you and not just him, he'd be more receptive? I also think that this kind of behavior pattern probably responds better to cognitive behavior therapy, not sure he's tried that.
in the meantime, I am doing my best to do things for myself and maintain some emotional independence. This weekend I got some exercise, did some cooking, took the kids out and just enjoyed time with them as much as possible and gave DH some space. the more I worry about his stress, the more stressed we both are. I can't control his behavior, only mine so I'm working on that.
Good luck to you....
