My wife (LLF 30) and I (HLM 33) have been in a DB for 10 years. I love her more than anything and we regularly remark that our DB is the only downside to our relationship. I was prompted to begin therapy due to work stress, but we’ve progressed to tackling some of the issues around my marriage. I’ve made changes, done reading (“Come As You Are” and “She Comes First”), and forced myself to be open with my wife about how much grief this has caused me.
We were talking on the drive home and she brought up that she had made an appointment with her doctor to review research she had been doing on how to engage some of the physical discomfort she has with sex that has led to her being LL. I thanked her for listening to me and making an effort to meet my needs.
She responded that, while it was important for her to do that as part of our relationship, she wanted to do it for her too. She’s invested.
Early days, but I’m hopeful. I know there isn’t a lot of hopeful posts here, so I thought I’d share.
Edit: Minor informational update.
