View submission: 37F dating after separation, partner with low libido again....
Hey I have the same hang up. I was trapped in a marriage with no intimacy for a long time and it really fucked me up. He was also my “first” and if I had known any better at 16, wouldn’t have gone past a few dates. I am extremely sensitive to any perceived rejections and the fear of being trapped in a dead bedroom is a big reason why I’ve been majority single the last decade. So, I’d feel exactly the same. But also, I would highly consider reading up on co-dependency. Codependent No More is a great book that might give you some insight into these feelings and also dating someone who is in recovery who can’t meet your needs even though he says he wants to.
There's nothing here!
