Hi Tina,

I am going through a similar situation but from the opposite side. My wife decided to separate after 10 years of marriage. The main reason was because I was unable to provide her with the emotional and physical intimacy that she required and I was unable to change, which sounds similar to your situation.

The separation has woken me up and I now realize some of my relationship limitations. Even if I am unable to change at least I know now what they are and I will keep trying to be a more open emotionally and physically in my relationships going forward.

Unfortunately I left my counseling and effort too late in our relationship and I should have addressed my issues years ago but I was stuck in denial. You sound like a wonderful and supportive wife and I hope your husband finds the strength to accept some of his limitations and work with you to fix.

God Bless

Mike
