[quote=Anonymous]I was saddened to read your post, but in some ways, have to say that I see this happen quite often. Doesn't make it acceptable in every situation, but sometimes couples reach that point in time where they are stuck, and have lost their enthusiasm to connect at deeper levels.

This is an emotional crossroads you are facing, and one that depends on his participation. Do you think he has backed away because he is self conscious of his own inabilities? Sexually and otherwise?

I don't see how a marriage can maintain itself, or move forward, without some level of communication. It's so much easier to hide behind silence than expose ourselves though meaningful conversation. Somehow the raw truth surfaces, and a person has to face themselves. This can be very intimidating or painful for some.

Rather than come to any final conclusion right now, give yourself some time to allow any changes that can occur through counseling. I know this can't be easy for you, but maybe there are some options out there you haven't thought of. Working through the deepest and most vulnerable parts of who we are can be time consuming, and I hope your husband will be open to the idea of at least trying to meet you where you are.

If you feel separate counseling would be beneficial for you at this time, don't be afraid to consider seeking out some Christian counseling, maybe through a Bible believing church in your area. They will give you the best advice.

My hope and prayer for you is that as you seek God for His guidance and direction, He will supply the answers you need to keep your marriage growing.[/quote]
