I'm currently married (10 years) to a wonderful woman (and mother of my two beautiful daughters {8 and 6}). I'd say we have a very good marriage in most respects, however, when it comes to our physical relationship -- well lets just say there hasn't been much of one for the past year or so. My wife was sexually abused by her step father (age 8-12). This has been an area that has brought us much emotional pain over the years. We communicate extremely well whenit comes to non-sexual issues (finances, family, career, etc.). When it comes to sex, for the life of me I can't seem to figure out what she needs. I really do try to be a loving and respectful husband, however, over the past 5 years we seem to be getting further apart. I love my wife very very much and miss our physical closeness dearly. I know from talking with her recently that she feels the same way about me, but I also know that she is very unhappy as well am I.
Any thoughtful response will be greatly appreciated!
