[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me revise: I just said I thought I was a "good catch," and I guess I mostly do think that on an objective level. But I feel so utterly unattractive usually, knowing that the person who sees the most of me on a daily basis doesn't want to touch me with a ten-foot pole. It can really be a mind fuck over time.

DW here. I was there for years. The rejection and resultant feeling of unattractiveness is just awful. I am so sorry. After 8 years of it, I told DH that I was not going to continue in the relationship the way it was and I was going to start seeing a therapist to figure out what I wanted. He was very upset but after a couple of days offered to go to couples therapy. We have an amazing therapist and I am seeing my own therapist and I am struggling royally with all of they resentment and anger that has built up over the years. To his credit DH is trying what is probably his best but I don't know if I can get over how neglectful he was of my feelings and sexual needs. Sorry to share my sob story but just wanted to say that I can imagine how you are feeling and that I am so sorry.[/quote]

You put up with it for 8 years?![/quote]

it was not TOTALLY sexless for the whole time, probably more like 6 of those years were technically sexless or almost borderline.  the emotional withdrawal started 8 years ago.[/quote]
